It's Awards Time!

What better way to mark the end of a year than with an award!  And if you've earned this award, my friend, you truly deserve recognition.

2010 Parky Bill's Parkinson's Place

Executive Dysfunction

Hall of Fame Award

As we all know, executive dysfunction is a harbinger of a more global dementia in Parkinson's disease.  It starts out silly and turns serious.  One day you're putting the car key in the door lock and wondering why the door won't open, the next day you're putting DVD's in the microwave to watch movies.

Now, to qualify for this award, you must answer "Yes" to at least 4 of these 10 questions.

Everything's Better Now... Except...

OK, the tremor seems to have straightened itself out.  Near as I can figure, I must have just had some temporary imbalance that got fixed with the next two doses of Stalevo.  But when I woke up this morning, at a time when I'm at my lowest level of dopamine, no tremor.  So we'll say that's taken care of.

That's the good news.

The bad news... I was taking my 6pm Stalevo last night.  Only I was taking it at 7:30 because I had forgotten to take it at 6.  I filled up a glass of water, took the pill, swallowed about half the glass...

Now, the next step would be to dump the remaining water in the sink and put the glass on the counter.

I dumped the water onto the counter and put the glass into the sink.
