Hi Teresa –
Happy New Year to you!
Well…I sure am glad you found my blog, as well!
Thank you for taking the time to read and reach out.
I’m sorry to hear of your diagnosis. And…I’m sorry for the added complications and stress of this kind of diagnosis in the midst of a pandemic.
I’m glad to hear that your son was able to relocate and that you have someone a bit closer than pre-diagnosis. He sounds like he’s already been a great support to you. It’s so important to find and to have those supports in place.
Please feel free to reach out anytime…if you have questions I may be able to answer or if you simply need to chat.
Take care of yourself and thank you again for your kind words!
-Nikki

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s as the pandemic hit. It has been a struggle to remain active due to the pandemic restrictions and also because unfortunately one of my symptoms is heat intolerance and I live in South Central Florida, not conducive to outdoor exercise! I have not been geographically close to any family since my diagnosis until my son recently relocated about 90 minutes from me. He has approached my symptoms with a sense of calmness and humor after the initial shock of the diagnosis and I am thankful for this.
I find reading your blog comforting and I like the “Just Shake It Off” name and attitude. Thank you for returning to writing!
Teresa
