We are all concerned about the future of our country. Our 5 year old son cried when he heard the results of the election. We told him that we would protect him, we told him that we needed him to love and to shine his light more than ever before. Every day, I tell him that Trump is not the future of our country, he is! And I tell him the future looks bright! I tell the college students that I work with the same thing but I add, "He won't make it a year without an impeachable offense……" Aaron Sorkin
At about 5:55am Thursday morning a colleague informed me that the Republicans and Democrats have ignored blue-collar white Americans for far too long and this is the main reason for our current president elect. I guess he is right, but no one wants to tell blue-collar white Americans the truth. The truth is good blue-collar jobs are disappearing and never coming back, family farming is dead and factory farming is here. Send your children to college and pray they work hard and make something of their lives. Pray that each of us live a life not measured in dollars.
The Future of Treatment
I almost forgot that this was a blog about PD! For those of you that do not know, I am a PAIR or a Parkinson's Advocates in Research. Among the many things that PAIRs do is give feedback on study design.
On Thursday, a group of us spent 6 hours giving feedback to a pharmaceutical company on a study protocol. We all signed nondisclosure agreements, so I cannot divulge much, but the treatment is designed to STOP the progression of the disease! For people with a degenerative disease, PAIRs are very upbeat, but on Thursday, those of us at the meeting were ecstatic!
It was just a protocol for a study trial, but the future looks good!
Woke up starin' at this, starin' at this empty room
Looked at thousand different pictures that your mother took of you
You see I had this crazy dream last night - this man, he talked to me
He told me everything that's good and bad about my history
But he said that you are, you are the future
He said that you are, you are the future
And the future looks good
The future looks good
Oh call me any time that every time you're losin' it
And tell me anyone and everyone who makes you feel like shit
Because you know anybody, everybody else can lie
But honey I won't see you with a, see you with a broken set of eyes
I swear that you are, you are the future
I swear that you are, you are the future
And the future looks good
Oh, yeah
