Day 14

Today is the 6th day of taking a full dose of my medication and I brushed my teeth this morning with my right hand! It actually felt a little less awkward! Is this a placebo effect or are things beginning to change?


Moments ago, one of my employees delivered a signature stamp to the office. My hope is that I will not need it for very long, but I will have to use it until the medication kicks in.  About two months prior to my diagnosis, I started to go back to therapy and I am so glad that I did. I cannot imagine going through this period of my life without a therapist. The mold, the temporary relocation of my family, the news that I will need yet another dental implant and the Parkinson's diagnosis would have been too much to bear on my own. Everyone needs a therapist. Last night, Nicole, my therapist and I discussed the possibility of telling my parents about my diagnosis. If you have been reading this blog then you already know that originally, I was going to spare them the bad news. They are both about to become octogenarians, so with any luck, they will never see me display any visible symptoms. The reason that I am rethinking this decision is that I would hate for them to hear about from someone else. My current plan is to tell the next time my family and I visit.

Any advice? Should I tell them? Join the blog and leave a comment.
