About Me

My photo
Massachusetts, United States
I am 41 years old. I have been married to my husband for 15 years. We have a son who was born in April 1996. We live in Central Massachusetts with our dog Maggie (a black lab we adopted from the animal rescue league) and our cat Sam (a stray that adopted us) I graduated from college with a BFA in Theatre in 1993 (hence the name) and for a few years pursued a career as an actress. Then life took over and I got married, had a baby and decided to get a "real" job. In November 2004, I was diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's disease. In December 2004, I was hospitalized for surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy. In December 2009, I was laid off from my job. In June 2010, my son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 14. Stick around to see what happens next!

Getting better

Well, I finally got my CPAP machine. I've had it to weeks now. I think it has made a difference. Although I still wake up feeling tired in the morning. But, I am not exhausted half way through the day so that is a HUGE improvement.

My next goal is to change my eating habits. I am going to go back to weight watchers. And I am going to start exercising. I know that doing these two things will make me feel even better!

Tonight I am going to a wine 101 class with Heidi. It should be fun. I am very excited to go.

Other than that, things are great. The PD med seems to be helping. I'm not nearly as stiff as I was. I still have the tremor but I can deal with that. The only think it really effects is my typing! ;o)

Later!
