| Introduction | I am a scientist and writer living in Kent, with my family, two hens, a dog, a tortoise and eighteen guinea pigs (don't ask). I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2006 at the age of 49. With a mortgage to pay, a job to hold down and three teenage children to bring up, it would be fair to say that Parkinson's was a spanner in the works. After the initial shock, I set about making the best of it. Facing a much less certain and comfortable future, I reacted in the best way I knew -- with humour. SLICE OF LIFE is a journal and a journey - of family life, with all its challenges, triumphs: joys, sorrows and laughter. Above all laughter and a determination to find humour in each day, Parkinson's or no Parkinson's. So, what of the Parkinson's? The bad news is that Parkinson's is incurable at present. The good news is that it won't kill you. So let's get on with life! |
