Greetings My Friend,
I am grateful for weeks where there is little need to run to doctor's appointments. Since retirement I find going to the doctor's is fairly much like having a part time job. The more that goes wrong with my body the more doctor's seem to work with all of my illnesses. Living in a rural area many of my appointments are two to three hours away which makes a run to the doctor an all day event. With both my husband and I we can be traveling back and forth to our appointments on average one or two days a week, although it is more bunched up, we go for several days for a week or two then it is quiet for a week or two. I gave up driving, I find my cognitive abilities could not handle the challenge of quick thinking, I am not familiar with driving in the mountains which makes me unsure at times so I felt for everyone's safety it was time to give up driving. On Sunday we had another potluck, which I love to attend. Junior and I get up go to Sunday school, attend services then come home take a nap to go back for Bible study. At the potluck, I was hardly able to stay awake, my friend asked me several times what was wrong, I was needing to take my nap in a huge way. I am at a point where I need to decide if I should attend the potluck. Our church always has containers for people to take leftovers home so we could go through the line, make a take out container then enjoy the food at home. I know what I need to do, I now have to do it and it hurts. One more activity one that I love needs to stop. Parkinson's is a progressive disease, these small things taken away starts to hurt. I can still do much so my thinking is focused on all that I am able to get out and do still. May God bless you and keep you. Love Janet
