Parkinson's Disease: every movement's a dance [Large Print]

By Mark Thorsell

(LARGE PRINT EDITION) My foot landed funny and I started to fall. My wife turned just in time to see me catch my balance and avoid what could have been a nasty face plant. She had a familiar look of concern. Once I gracefully recovered, I took her face in my hands and told her, "Every movement's a dance." In 2009, I heard the words "You have Parkinson's disease" spoken to me. No one wants to find out they have a progressive degenerative brain disorder and that they will have it for the rest of their life. Despite the original shock and fear, life has continued to be full of joy and adventure. Of course there are the ever increasing challenges and limitations of living with this disease. After I was diagnosed, I developed a desire to write. This book is a collection of thoughts and stories I have written over the last several years. Thoughts and stories about living with PD, my faith in God and some random thoughts. "Every movement's a dance" is how I have chosen to express this new life that has been thrust upon me. My hope is that you will find something in my poor attempt that will encourage you in your struggles and challenges.
