A few weeks ago I was in a supermarket, early doors, with my 12y old son.
As I was paying I became aware of a couple,tutting,shaking their heads and generally looking with contempt at me.
As my meds had'nt fully kicked in I concluded that not for the first time I was being perceived as a drunk. Having my boy with me I avoided a confrontation but mentioned the situation to him outside.
He replied " to be fair dad, it's 8.00 am, you're a bit wobbly and the only item you're buying is a litre bottle of 'own brand' cooking whiskey !"

I could see his point !

There then followed a chat which revealed that I'v become so sensitive about my condition that everyone walks on egg shells around me for fear of saying something I'll read too much into or take the wrong way.
So some good came from the episode in that I am now aware of yet another facet of personality that has changed as a result of living in Parkinsonia and can hopefully address it.

Such wisdom from a 12y old boy/man......a shame he has to grow up quicker than his peers.
