So, I began to cook. Nothing difficult. A couple of boneless chicken breast, broccoli in the microwave, potatoes. I thought I could do it without any difficulty, but NOOOO!!
Between the sweating and the tremor it was misery for me. The kids got a good hot meal, but grandma was done in!!
If there is one thing I hate about PD, it is the tremor. Some days I can hardly write anything. The least exertion...just going shopping for groceries, causes me to sweat so bad it drips onto my glasses, my hair is wet. I am sick and tired to both issues.
Thanks for listening,

Boy, ain't it the truth, I'm mad too, ALOT. I guess I go in & out of those stages, anger, denial, bargaining, depression, acceptance but the anger frequently is the one I most identify with, less wimpy, speaks to my streak of defiance. whenever I get those shakes (often) & am trying to do something I feel both sad & furious. probably I should mellow & but the chemistry of the illness makes it feel impossible. And the Feelings, oh my, I hardly cried before this illness and now there are days when I can't turn off the faucet. it couldn't have been healthy all those years to have been so stoic, but somedays I wonder where the old me went! Thanks much for shaing & I wish I was there last night cause maybe we could have taken turns cooking and resting. Be encouraged, FG
