Joy, I try to remember that giving up means admitting that PD has won. Never never let that happen. When you feel like giving up go and do something that PD is telling you that you can not do. Show it who is BOSS
God is good !
JoyDixon: I believe the best course of action is to adapt to circumstances. Not easy but possible. I'm 97, stuck in a wheelchair, unable to do almost anything, but not unhappy, terrified or what-have-you--all because of adapting. I owe a huge debt of gratitude, not to doctors or faith or inner fortitude, but to Amazon, i.e. the ability to us this laptop to order whatever I need delivered to my door virtually within hours. Reading has become an obsession which I could not do without an electronic reader (Kindle). In fact, I'm enjoying books that I never would've read if I did not have PD. I've also become a fan of sports I never would've have watched in healthier times. We really do live in a time of miracles and should take advantage of what we've been given.
Thank you .. I wish the same for you… family and others just don’t understand … I know I’m very mentally distraught
Praying for you
