Attitude means so much. I realized soon after my diagnosis that the world around me was not going to change because of my problems so all I could do was get out and keep living the best I could. Good for you for getting it and doing what you enjoy, including the occasional drink. On a personal note, I'm curious, has PD seriously impacted your ability to play music? I play the guitar but more slowly now than in the past. Keep it up.
I agree.... attitude is a constant struggle for many of us. I'm preparing to facilitate my support group this am and I feel threatened by it. But I will meditate and if lucky nap a little which usually rejuvenates my will.
On the music side... I have played drums most of my life. I had to let it go several years ago because of the noise level for me and others. Recently my son purchased a Roland electronic kit which is marvelous. However I am much slower!!
I actually thought about trying standup a few years ago but stumbling over my words got in the way. I now have a quick wit and a slow tongue, a frustrating combination. I admire your resolve.
Funny you say that. I used to kid my wife that I would get a hub as a paint mixer at Home Depot. It took her some time to get used to the fact that I would joke about it. Years ago I was in a cab in Manhattan and my tremors were particularly bad. My hands were in my lap and all I could think about was what it must have looked like to the driver when he looked in the rear view mirror.
