  • Columnist Interviews Husband About her Parkinson’s Diagnosis

    Hey everyone! Hope you all made it through another week ok.

    Check out Lori’s latest column here. This is a unique piece, in which Lori interviews her husband about how Parkinson’s has impacted their lives. Some things remain the same, while others have changed drastically.

    I especially like this quote from her husband: “Parkinson’s has changed our lives, but there are many unknowns still to come. We have all learned how to deal with adversity. Not theoretical adversity, but real-life stuff. You can’t prepare for this, but you can definitely learn from it.

    Parkinson’s has brought us closer. It obviously is not something that either of us would have wished for, but it’s here. And so far, it has been different, but not all bad.”

    Do you have any takeaways from this column? For those of you who are married, have you had a conversation like this with your spouse?

    I would like your thoughts on how to keep a positive outlook. I try to keep everything the same but my body just wont cooperate many times and its hard to escape the realization that there is a continual deterioration. There has definitely been a life style adjustment, especially in the last few months with isolation as my primary activity.
