Parkinson's Awareness.

I really want to push out the fact that, you know, we don't just fall over, we have a lot of issues, a lot of issues, and it's not just, you know, it doesn't matter how well people take it, how old people are, there's all three, it's not just, you know, people need to look holistically at everything, so it's not just me, it's my family, it's everything, and it's everyone with Parkinson's, and obviously other illnesses as well, but you know, it's like When I first had Parkinson's, I was thinking, well, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's a neurodisease. It's not going to, it's not going to kill me. It's just not one of the ones that's going to stop me breathing. It'll make my life challenging. But you know, if it's not going to kill me, it's not going to, it's not going to, you know, in 10 years time, I'm not going to be sitting there on a ventilator. Like, you know, people, really unfortunate people who have neurodiseases. And I remember saying to a new student, completely, I don't know what we're talking about. if you're going to have an ear disease, get Parkinson's, top tip. And that's where I started, I remember saying to her, and then all of a sudden I was thinking, I'm not embarrassed anymore, I can make this funny. And hopefully people, by that, by doing that, people will think, hang on, let me think about what he's doing. Yeah, and then in some of the blogs I write, you know, I'm saying, I was, I was trying to do a really menial task, like spread butter or something, and I couldn't do it. And then, so I said, so in the blog I write, for all you non-possessed people, put a slice of bread, or put, no, onion, chopping onion, so put an onion on the washing machine, which is going full spin cycle, and then put your hand really close on the onion, and then put knife and try and slice the onion while the onion is bouncing around the table, but around the washing machine. It's that kind of thing, it's that kind of thing, if you, you know, and then people are having a party right back to now, now I get it. So yeah, it's just, it's, as I said, to promote that we're, you know, it's not about all four, it's not all about falling down, it's like daily tasks. Do you remember Nancy Roper's activities of daily living. When I was a student a long, long time ago, as a nursing student, and that was a big thing. And so that for me is, you know, it's still prevalent, it's still relevant. My ten activities of daily living are now really challenging. If I get to all ten, without falling over, caught in a trauma surgeon or anything like that, I've made it through the today. And that's what I want to promote. And also, Michael J. Fox, if you're watching this, give me a call.
