I hope you will continue this journey with me.

Am I Going Crazy...

For months, I could tell that something was not right. I just did not feel like myself (granted, if you know me, you know that I have never been quite right, but that is a different story). In spite of my other physical issues, I began to notice changes; I was beginning to have more and more difficulty doing even basic things, and I had no idea what was going on.

When Is Enough, Enough

As we drove home from the doctor, one question kept repeating over and over in my mind, “God, when is enough, enough?” You see, in regards to my health, this was not my first rodeo. From the age of 15, there had been a seemingly endless parade of health issues and difficult circumstances. How much more could be piled on?

Four Little Words

“You have Parkinson’s Disease.” I sat there and stared at the doctor. Did I really hear what I thought I heard? My wife and I had gone into this appointment, expecting to hear something like this, but hearing the doctor say that, was very sobering. There was almost a finality to it. Instantly, a thousand questions begin to pour through my mind. It felt overwhelming, and I honestly was not sure where to start.

Welcome

I invite you to take a journey with me, a journey that I never wanted to take, but one that has been thrust upon me, whether I wanted it or not.
