Description
Aside from taking my Parkinson's meds on time and remembering to balance carefully when I walk, I would prefer to think of anything else other than Parkinson's disease most of the time. Ms. Ellie the Ostrich here demonstrates my coping strategy very well. Drawing done in 2015. Disclaimer----The first few years after my diagnosis in 2008, I read everything I could find on the internet, in books, and by talking with people. I still keep up with updates on PD as much as is reasonable. In fact I made 100% on a Parkinson's quiz recently. But after all this introduction to this thing called Parkinson's, I find I feel better if I focus on the other parts of my life....the things I really care about. I am not this disease. I am the person who happens to live with this disease.

Thank you very much, Andy. We do what we can as long as we can. This is true of all of us. Glad to know you can appreciate my journey :-)

As a nurse of 25 years, I found your words here about medicine education and life experience very poignant. I'm glad you're keeping your art going, which is excellent, particularly under the circumstances!
