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!

Happy Halloween

B is going as "the scream" this year. Ah, gone are the days of Winnie the Pooh and pumpkins... Now we're into blood and gore. Oh Joy!

Now the big push to the Holidays! We were in Kohl's over the weekend and they were hanging their Christmas decorations. GOOD GRIEF!!! BJ's has had Christmas stuff in their stores since the middle of Sept. It gets earlier and earlier every year.

I am looking forward to the holiday's this year. Not sure why. I think they will be really enjoyable.

I'm getting really frustrated with my PD these days. I just seem to be going down hill more and more everyday. Only a week till my appointment. I asked P if he thought I was getting worse or if it was all in my head. He agreed that it seems to be progressing. I definitely think it's time for new meds. I know it's dangerous territory to go into, but I think it's time. Two years into this diagnosis with out any synthetic dopamine is pretty good I think. I'm ready to get some of my body back. I just hope it works for me.

Trying to stay positive but some days it's just hard.

That's all for now. Have a spooky day! BOO!
