ENOUGH OF THE WORLD AROUND US. I NOW KNOW I HAVE PARKINSON'S. MY MIRACLE MAN TOLD ME IT WON'T BE THE THING THAT I WILL DIE OF. COMFORTING. NOW I KNOW I WILL NOT DIE OF PARKINSON'S. WHAT I DON'T KNOW AT THAT POINT IN TIME IS HOW PROGRESSIVE I WILL BE.
I HAD BEEN KNOWN TO BE RATHER PROGRESSIVE IN SOME OF MY PREVIOUS BUSINESS ACTIVITY. SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY AGGRESSIVE, I SAY PROGRESSIVE.
HOW AGGRESSIVE WILL PARKINSON'S BE WITH ME??? AHH, THAT IS THE QUESTION.
WE LEFT CORNELL-WEIL HOSPITAL IN NEW YORK AND DROVE BACK HOME. A LONG DRIVE ARMED WITH THIS NEWLY DEFINED KNOWLEDGE AND CHALLENGE, ALONG WITH A STARTER PACK OF MEDICATION.
I CAN STILL REMEMBER ARRIVING HOME, MY WIFE, MY DEAREST FRIEND FIXING OUR DINNER AND ME---SITTING THERE A BIT STUNNED FROM MY NEW KNOWLEDGE (OR LACK OF IT) LOOKING AT MY STARTER PACK OF SINEMET. IF I TAKE THE FIRST ONE HOW WILL I REACT TO THIS INVASION OF FOREIGN SUBSTANCES INTO MY BODY.
I WILL ALSO BE GIVING IN TO MY DIAGNOSIS. I WILL BE SURRENDERING, WITHOUT A FIGHT.
I TOOK MY FIRST DOSE AFTER MUCH CONSIDERATION AND FEAR.
I AM NOT SURRENDERING---THE FIGHT HAD JUST BEGUN.
THE DINNER WAS DELICOUS, AS USUAL AND MY LINDA WAS MY ROCK.
