Hope Is A Plan B (V2) & I Want A New Drug!

Hope Is A Plan B





I had a great time at the CUNY Emerging Leaders Conference at Brooklyn College on Friday, February 28.  I presented my workshop on hope as an active process: "Hope Is A Plan B."



As always, the CUNY students in attendance were top notch! Many stayed long after the workshop was over, and I am pretty certain that at least 2 students missed lunch to stay and chat. I firmly believe that, a Universities most valuable asset is the time of their students. With that in mind, I would like to thank all the attendees for their time and attention.

If you scroll down, you will find information on my presentation along with with some useful links.

Taking Hope On The Road!
This is presentation is free for all CUNY Colleges. If any other colleges or universities are interested, my fee will be a donation to the Parkinson’s Foundation.


I Want A New Drug
I wonder how many post titles on my blog are lines from Huey Lewis and the News Songs?
,
 

If you have noticed me walking lately, you have probably seen that I have a more pronounced limp. A dyskinesia is causing my right foot to turn in making it more difficult to walk. I am going to try a new medication, Gocovri . In true drug dealer style, “the first month is free!” According to a representative of Adamas, the company will work with me to get a grant to the cover the co-pay after the first month. You may not want to look at the possible side effects

Drug warnings always remind me of Happy Fun Ball.

 


I am really hoping that this works. It would be nice to walk without consciously thinking about it. As an added bonus, it is supposed to reduce off periods!  A review will follow shortly.

Until next time...
