Hardest aspects
Watch VideosThe hardest part of this for me is not being able to be independent.
You may notice that my voice isn't very clear right now. That's one of the hardest aspects for me right now, as I've gone through Parkinson's, is my voice is always leaving me. I get real foggy and things. I used to be able to sing a lot in church and places like that, and now I can't sing hardly at all anymore. So that's kind of depressing to me. Also, I fall a lot. I don't have the tremors or anything like that, but I do fall a lot. I lose my balance, and I'm afraid I'm going to break something. So far, I haven't, so I've been blessed, but it's still kind of scary when all of a sudden you start going down and you don't know what to do. So that's one of the hard aspects for me. So I walk with a cane, and I have this handy-dandy thing to connect with the doctors and things if I need to. And my husband's not around. I do live with my husband, so he helps me a lot.
