About Me
Wondering about time for disability, raising an eleven year old, waiting for menopause. Work history - mental health counseling, long term care. Hobbies - eraser collecting, making things, reading, movies. Most troublesome Parkinson symptom/side effect - tremor, edgaring. Definition of "edgaring" - did you see movie "Men in Black"? Remember the man taken over by the "bug" who went in search of the galazy? Edgar, was married to the little woman in the shack, who left his wife after eating a lot of sugar? My dyskenesia looks just like Edgar trying to move.
