I take 20 pills a day. I run at least two hours ,usually more. Running is the only thing I have found that gives your mind clarity. I am stunned at what is happening to a blabber
mouth like me.
The Neurology Doctors give memory tests to me every time I am there. I always flunk.
I talk so fast they cant understand me. Sometimes I say things that have no meaning,
When a person is told they have Dementia, they need to treat it as a person your fighting in a ring.
I run for my body and I write for my brain. I have learned memory tricks, if a word is given to you to remember, add something to it: a naked 500lb woman. The brain seems to have better luck with visual images like that. I know I said I flunked memory tests but I have the ability to remember important things like fighting the Tea Party!
Parkinson "s is funny. I run and walk fine most of the time. Sometimes I walk like I am drunk. The sidewalk feels like ice. my hands turn into claws.
I urge anyone who is told they have Parkinson "s or Dementia to fight!
Exercise like you never have before. GET AN EKG AND A STRESS TEST BEFORE YOU START ANY EXERCISE PROGRAM! you can die at any age while you run.
Change your life style! I eat fruit and vegetables and no meat. Orange juice is nothing but sugar water. Eat an orange instead.
Any disease is just a label. Don't give in and be a victim. Many of my friends have no idea about my illness.
When you see the end of life is when you really live. Problems are just that! no big deal. I was running last night and I saw the most beautiful rainbow right in front of me.
I smiled and said "I get it!' I urge you to become intense and kick but at everything
you do.
Call me your friendly crazy man.
"I"d like to
brush the gray
from out of
uour skies
and leave them
only blue.
