My journey with Parkinson"s

I have had a blog called "Parkies and me - my journey with Parkinson"s" for the past four years. Now that I have finished work and have more time, I wanted to add a Podcast to provide more information and interest for my followers. I also hope to get guests on my Podcast on specialist subjects that would be useful to know for both carers and those they support. Look out for interviews regarding important legal decisions that is well worth a look. If you are interested in my Blog, you can find it on

Accepting our limits as we age - Episode 52

My journey with Parkinson"s ·

2025/02/14

This title may sound defeatist or downbeat at first reading. It is not meant to sound that way. It is, however, my acknowledgement of what my body needs from me to carry me through the rest of my life. To take unnecessary risks and worry my husband and all who love me, would be irresponsible. I want to be able to spend many years yet with all of them and therefore am prepared to modify some of my expectations. There is, however, still much joy to be had in life.

Shop to shop hopping - A poem - Episode 48

Just returned from surgery and just on a week in hospital. Working things up gently, so short podcasts in the interim, as pain permits. This one is about my cousin and I and shopping of course!

Pride goeth before a fall - Episode 47

My journey with Parkinson"s ·

2025/02/01

Thinking about my operation on Monday and getting ready. Hair done. Shaved my legs and pits. New Pyjamas purchased. All coming together. There is a possibility that I may go to the hospital where I was working up until May last year. Just checking in with myself about how I feel about that.

The Bloodsucker's Curse - Episode 46

My journey with Parkinson"s ·

2025/01/31

I don't know why I have never in all these years thought to write a poem about the nightmare that is my giving a blood sample. I have defeated many a cocky phlebotomist (nothing rhymes with that) and I smile quietly to myself when anyone rocks on up expecting to get blood off me.I hope you enjoy this poem. It made me laugh!

Hospital, Health and Harrahs -Episode 45

My journey with Parkinson"s ·

2025/01/30

Another silly poem to lighten my mood as I nervously await my surgery on Monday. Feeling a bit stressed, I admit. The Harrah bit is after a term my husband and I use, which is 'the last Harrah'. This is when we are starting a diet the next day and so we might treat ourselves to 'a last Harrah' before we diet! I hope you enjoy it.

The evolution of underwear (A poem) - Episode 44

My journey with Parkinson"s ·

2025/01/30

I mistakenly bought a pack of women's full briefs. I had thought I was my normal knickers and got home and found that I had bought knickers like my mother used to wear. I was going to take them back, but I thought I might try them on and they were so comfortable! So, it's official I am wearing Nanna knickers! Just a silly little poem . Sometimes you just need a bit of silliness when you are anxious.

Shopportunity - Episode 43

My journey with Parkinson"s ·

2025/01/28

I think sometimes when you are trying not to think too deeply about an uncertain future, there is much to be said for looking back with fondness. My cousin and I got together to clear out my wardrobe and we had fun talking about shared memories. Just the thing, when you are trying not to think about an operation in a few days. Shoppertunity - I explain this word and it's origins, but it is a wee bit of fun and don't we all need a bit of fun now and again?

Putting my house in order - Episode 42

My journey with Parkinson"s ·

2025/01/27

As someone who is very much a planner, I like to know that I have planned as much as I can for my surgery and recovery and any unplanned complications. These thoughts may interest you too and covers some basics like Wills and Enduring Power of Attorney and some other useful stuff.

Be a legend in your own lunchtime - Episode 38

My journey with Parkinson"s ·

2025/01/25

This was a saying in our family growing up. It sounds far less grand than being a legend in your lifetime! This podcast episode has come about because I have started interviewing people for the podcast series. They have been professional people talking about 'legal stuff' and 'other stuff'. Then this morning I was thinking about who else it would be good to interview, who people finding this podcast might want to listen to. Then I had a lightbulb moment. Ordinary people! Ordinary

I'm a hugger - Is this a Parkies thing? - Episode 37

My journey with Parkinson"s ·

2025/01/21

I've noticed over the past year or so I have become more of a hugger. As someone who almost never got hugs growing up, this is an interesting thing. I was always a giver of hugs, but mostly to my husband and children and grandchildren. So, here's my thoughts on hugs!

For Parkinson's - A hidden issue - Episode 35

My journey with Parkinson"s ·

2025/01/19

I've written about this issue before in my Blog. Having a condition that is not necessarily visible at first, can make it challenging for both the person with the diagnosis and those that seek to support them. Especially in the early days, it can be difficult for people to realise that a person with Parkinson's has any issues. If they present as independently mobile, drive a car, can get up steps and all in all seems to be able to function alone in the community. However, they may have

There are no experts in Parkinson's - Oh yes there...

My journey with Parkinson"s ·

2025/01/18

I read on another person's blog 'there are no experts in Parkinson's' I beg to differ. Those of us with Parkinsons' and those that support us, are experts in our own journey with Parkinson's.

Acts of service - love in a fruitcake - Episode 33

My journey with Parkinson"s ·

2025/01/16

Sometimes those three little words - I love you - can be difficult for people to say. Notice the things that they do for you, big or small and they may just be their way of saying it without saying it. I think you'll like 'love in a fruitcake'
