Biography

I have always been driven to a goal and with work and presentence made my goals. These include good grades, star football player in high school, success in college and admission to an out of state Medical School. I became a General Surgeon and had a successful private practice for 30 years. Then Mr. Park moved in and slowly has taken me over. First visual sign was a trimmer in my left hand.  My left hand began to cramp and lock up  in surgery. Then the right side started to act up. At this point (Fall 2016) I was diagnosed with PD. My Doctors told I could continue to work as long as felt safe in the OR.

On My Birthday(December 24) I did a large OR case and I started shaking  really bad. In the Middle of the Operation I decided I was done with Surgery and I retired from Surgery. I started working in small Emergency Rooms. Mr. Park slowly grew bigger and I slowly got worse. Meds controlled my trimmers but my Balance got worse and I slowed  down. I lost my ability to multitask. I retired  from Medicine in March of 2019.

I have continued to let Mr. Park take over me. No mater how hard I work and try: I am getting worse. I have just about stopped driving because I get stressed out – start shaking and if I can not get control of myself will develop into a panic attack. Now that is ironic a Surgeon stressed out, shaking and totally nonfunctional. But what is there to look forward to?  What goal? Only GOD knows. It is hard to keep pushing and keep a smile on my face. In the next 12 months I think I will full time help but GOD will put a light at my feet and make my paths Known to me.
