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!

blue today

i am so blue today...i've been blue the past few days. i've been trying to fight it but it's there...all the time.

When i am busy i don't notice it as much...so i guess the trick is to stay busy right? Not so easy.

I had a rough week, i guess two weeks past with my body. Very still, very hard to walk...i tired so easily and I got so light headed and I sweated profusely...I don't know what my deal was.

Today, the body is much better...still a little stiff on in my leg and hand but nothing like it was. I can walk with out a noticable "limp".

Sometimes I am just so overwhelmed with the idea that this disease is going to rob me of my freedoms.

I am so envious of the people who can truly just live in the moment, and enjoy every day that God gives them. I talk a good game but I don't think I truly feel that everyday. Today I just want to crawl under my desk and hide. For no particular reason, I just feel that way. I feel so OVERWHELMED right now.

So, I just continue to plodd along. What else is there to do right? One day at a time...
