What will be my exit? Will it be a face plant after tripping over my shoelace and landing nose-first in the path of a random blind man? Will I have assumed the undignified position of the dubious winner of a game of twister left in a twisted and expired heap in the lounge room? Will I have collapsed with all the grace of a broken marionette to the resounding calls of “oh shit” from strangers and family onlookers without warning of my epic clumsiness? Or will I fly at speed at almost head height with my bum leading for impact well above my shoulders as I fail to negotiate a shopping centre escalator? It will surely be something sudden, clumsy, and alarming. Perhaps a final fart will be my last calling card.
As I pass into the unknown, I might have a fading sense of what has happened and is happening enough to have the presence of mind to say, “See ya”. I’ll try. Like a cat with nine lives, I have had a fortunate existence, multiple careers, a bewildering suite of family constellations, stability alongside change, along with pets, pets and more pets. And I have loved, said “fuck off” far too rarely, and “no” hardly ever.
As I step across the rainbow bridge, will I face emptiness with my claim to eternal life etched by my life’s deeds in the hearts of those closest? Or will I meet God and experience that sinking feeling in the pit of my defunct stomach … whoops I got that wrong as a final nod to Murphy’s Law, which has framed my life.
Why am I having such thoughts? Simply because I have had a fall that nearly wiped me out. For those of you who have been following my journey, this is where we are up to with Parkinson’s… dislocated shoulder, bashed nose, dissection of the carotid artery, multiple contusions, and sprained wrist. I don’t have any change to my Parkinson’s symptoms .. really … but as they say, people living with Parkinson’s don’t typically die from the disorder but from a “fall”,…. Sudden and unanticipated.

After my PD diagnosis, I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex and sinemet as the disease progressed but didn’t help much. In July last year, I started on PD-5 herbal protocol from Uine health centre. Few months into the treatment, I made a significant recovery. After I completed the recommended treatment plan, almost all my symptoms were gone, had wonderful improvement with my movement and tremors. Its been 6 months since I completed the treatment, I live a better life. Visit or google www. limitlesshealthcenter. com
