Our dear friend Harley (Laura)
 

has been hospitalized with a bad drug interaction. She is doing much better now. Her PD has been very bad because of this. She will be offline for a while, whilst she gets her affairs sorted out.
She told me to tell everyone that she'll be "kicking ***" again soon!

I talked to her this morning, and she was being released from the hospital sometime after we talked..She said that the drug reaction has been the cause of her worsening pd symptoms for a while..Sounds like she ready to kick *** already :D

Watch out for Unidentified Flying Cookies :D

thanks guys
 

the hospitilation was mainly due to the drwug interaction of seligiline and trileptal. bad stuff. they took me off of trileptal, and that is making a huge difference.

another difference is i did not go home. they wouldnt release me home, and after reading all of the hospital notes, i know why. they believe, as do i, that my home environment is unhealthy and causes me too much stress. i noticed this immediately when i walked through the door. it felt as though i had been hit over the head. i immediately had bad symptoms. the docs notes revealed observations of how i was both when i was by myself and when my husband was in the room. much added stress while he was there, and very obvious apparently.

so, i am now staying in our rv. it is a nice 25 ft travel trailer with all i need. similiar to a studio apartment. the park i am in has wonderful park attendents who have taken me under their wings. i looked into some independent living places today and i am meeting with a social worker tomorrow.

this recent hospital episode compells me to say.. if you are in a stressful environment, please... get out. it will not change, and will only make you ill. pd is hard enough,. but it is tolerable when you are in a good living environment. put your faith in God. He is listening. and most importantly,,. as a dear friend of mine said.. have faith in yourself ,. and have patience . things will get better.

Oh, Laura, god bless. Being in the hosptital is so difficult for everybody, but especially us, and you need a very strong advocate to be there for you. But perhaps it is a blessing in disguise because it has taken you to the place where you HAD to make the needed change, and in the long run, will be much better. I think your faith in God, yourself, and patience are very well placed. Good luck with the progress of your situation.

Laura,

Please get well soon. I miss your responses on the forum here.

today i joyfully prayed
without restraint or hesitation
i flirted and played
without feeling guilt's restriction
my hand reached out to hold
a hand needing to feel love
and my voice gave the message
i am learning from above.

today i found each step
easier than the day before
i sang a little louder
without closing my door.
my hair flew wild and free
as i unleashed it to the wind
i did not take time to ponder
where my road will bend.

today i found my laughter
suits my soul's definition
unbridledn and contageous whimsy
i claim as my own description
to relish in my discovery
is a gift given from Him alone
and with this new life I have
purpose will find my home.

Laura, you've done it again! Your spirit soars and calls us to follow in this poem.
