I think so. They want me to do my job and do what I need to do to try to stay healthy. I worry a bit because I drive a lot for the job but I’m taking one day at a time.

I was diagnosed in September but realistically had the symptoms for two years. I told the COO and the owner mainly due to the fact the owner is a relative, though not my direct supervisor. I’m not sure that if that wasn’t the case I would have told them. They have been great to me. My supervisors mother has MS so he has a frame of reference.

Scott, that sounds like a good approach. My Dad was diagnosed with PD in 2013. He’s still pretty independent and gets around on his own. He has learned how to time his medications pretty well, so he
has a pretty good feel for when they’ll start working. And this has allowed him to stay pretty self-sufficient.
