JUST ANOTHER RAMBLE
HI JOURNAL,
WHAT A DAY THIS HAS BEEN.
SAW MY NEUROLOGIST TODAY,
HE MADE A MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO THE TIMING OF MY
MEDICATIONS.
HE CHECKED THAT MY ELECTRONIC STIMULATOR WAS
OPERATING CORRECTLY, AS I HAD MY DOUBTS.
ALL WAS OK.
I THEN VISITED MY LOCAL PARKINSON'S SUPPORT GROUP
OFFICES, CAUGHT UP WITH ALL THE NEWS AND PICKED
UP AN ADVANCED COPY OF THIS MONTHS NEWS LETTER,
WHICH HAS AN ARTICLE BY YOURS TRULY IN IT.
WE ARE REALLY GATHERING PACE IN OUR PREPARATIONS
FOR THE PARKINSON'S UNITY WALK TO BE HELD ON
SUNDAY 12 SEPTEMBER,
IN PERTH CITY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA.
THERE IS MUCH UNSEEN WORK BEING DONE,
PLANNING AND ARRANGING PRIZES,
BARB A CUES AND ENTERTAINMENT ETC,
TOGETHER WITH ACQUIRING SPONSORS.
WE ARE AIMING TO RAISE ENOUGH MONEY,
TO EMPLOY ANOTHER PARKINSON'S NURSE SPECIALIST',
AS THE CURRENT CLIENT NURSE RATIO,
IS WAY OUT OF WHACK.
WE HAVE THREE NURSES WHICH IS,
NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH,
THEY ARE RUN OFF THEIR FEET.
THEN OUT OF THE BLUE,I RECEIVED A CALL FROM
AN OLD LONG LOST FRIEND,
WHICH KIND OF MADE MY DAY.
WE ARRANGED TO MEET NEXT WEEK.
THERE SEEMS TO PLENTY GOING ON AT DAILY STRENGTH,
ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEWLY DIAGNOSED,
A DIFFICULT AND TRYING TIME I KNOW.
I'VE BEEN THERE AND COME THROUGH IT.
BE ASSURED AND KNOW, THERE IS STILL A LIFE,
INDEED A GOOD LIFE TO BE LIVED, IN SPITE AND DESPITE,
OF THIS IMPOSTOR THAT IS PARKINSON'S CONDITION.
IT IS NOT A DEATH SENTENCE.
TOMORROW IS TABLE TENNIS DAY,
THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY WEEK.
