It must be my turn to start a new chapter in my life. It’s starting to feel like a whole new book. This week, Lisa and I will be spending the week in Portland, Oregon at the World’s Parkinson’s Congress as the guest of US World Meds. I have been invited to be a Patient Advocate, which means that I am a patient that will be telling my story with respect to the positive benefits of the drug Apokyn that I have been taking for almost a year and a half. It’s a great company, with an exceptional product, and I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to provide a real-life story of success.
This is the extent of our post this week due to our travels to Portland. It was my intent to have Bob, who I introduced you to several months ago, fill in as a guest blogger, but he had other commitments; something about getting fitted for a new super suit.
Please stop by next week for an update.
Parkinson’s still sucks, using Lisa’s terms, but I am fortunate that I get to live a nearly normal life with the help of modern medicine prescribed by physicians that are at the forefront of their field. There is hope for those that are inflicted with PD; in fact, a lot of hope and a lot of scientific advancements with more coming every day. I get to be the vehicle to those that may need to hear, or in this case see, evidence that normalcy is attainable; just don’t give up searching for it. I get to be one of the people who delivers the message of hope.
Who ever said that the life of an accountant is boring!
