Update 13 the July 2012-07-13
Well as my journey with Pd carries on I have had a few very funny and yet some sad moments , still not seeing my grand kids , hurts like hell , someday soon I hope all this shite will end and nick and Scott will see sence , my good days and bad days are now turning out to be good hrs and bad ones but as we say life goes on , just now I am staying in this beautiful B&B just outside Morpeth in Northumberland , I am on business down here for a few days , as I said life goes on , I can still drive so as long as I have my licence I will continue to work for as long as I can , the weather has been crap over the past few weeks , on a funny moment last Sunday think it was the 8th July after a few pints in Chapman’s one decided to go for a walk in the pissing rain with no real protection from the rain, I was in my usual ( fuck this Parkinson’s mode) so off I jolly well went shuffling at a snail’s pace covering 1 mile per hrs as is my want , shaking and shuffling along the country road that runs outside our house , picture the scene here , pissing down with rain the bold Alan shuffling with head phones on listening to my iPod its about 01.00hrs dark and here we have this nutter with PD staggering two steps forward and three back two to the side on the country road cars passing at what seamed like 100 mph, any way I carry on my shuffle , freezing a few time as I go head shaking in time to the music although this is not by choice, 2 hrs later I come to a sign above the road and I freeze under it head drooped feet rooted to the spot and going nowhere after what seemed like a few hrs a car pulls up , head still in a drooped position I here this voice , Ok sir have we had a wee drink , fuck off was my slur reply it’s got fuck all to do with you , it’s the police was the reply , don’t care who the fuck you are I said , I have froze and I can do sod all about it, the word stuck came from my mouth , stuck what the fuck are you talking about said the police , fucken stuck you dick head was my reply next thing this police officer pulled the head phones out of my ear, look sir he said we have had a call from a concerned individual who said that a person was standing under this sign and may be in danger , fuck off aim only going for a walk said i, again he said have you been drinking at this point I went to get my wallet out of my pocket , as soon as my hand went down to my pocket I was on the ground and hand cuffed , fuck me was only going to get my Parky card out to show them , any way they got my wallet out chuked in to the back of their car and after a few awkward moments , oh you have Parkinson’s , that what I was Fucken trying to tell you pair of dicks , by this time my swearing had reached its peek every second word was a wee swear, where do you live , and we will take you home , address is in my wallet , can you take these Fucken handcuffs off , sorry sir they are on for your safety , my safety , my arse, any way they managed to find where I stay so imaging Larraine’s surprise when the cops chap the door and explain to her that I was picked up on the back road near our house, to her horror I staggered up the drive and got the scowling stare , where were you ,and what do you thing you were doing , only going for a walk was my reply, Larraine thought I had gone to my bed , so cops leave and then the interrogating started , just look at you , I was like a droont rat socked right through to my drawers , shaking like a bag of bones , have you taken your meds , well I don’t know so she went off on one < you think your invincible don’t you , yes I am was my retort , what would have happened if you got hit by a car , probably die one said to which larine told me to go to hell , as quick as a flash I said at least it would be dry , as I crawled up stairs and tried to go to bed , still shaking and stuttering like a nuttier , any way eventually went to bed and after my usual 2hrs kip I was wind awake still shaking and staggering I managed to slide down the stair to the kitchen where I tried without success to make a cup of tea, so just plugged myself back in to my iPod and waited for morning to happen, quite frosty reception next day when the boss got up for her work,.
So will I do the same again, dam right I will I will solder on as long as I can and treat my PD with the contempt it deserves.
Till next adventure
