I have graduated from a caregiver to a carepartner of my husband Ken.
Our journey with Parkinson's began 11 years ago, with the diagnosis, and the caveat you have seven years.
Being neophytes with this, we began to realise that we needed to know what Parkinson's is.
We researched, and over a period of time, we have gleaned, and shared with others on the journey.
Over the 20 years we have been together, our lives focused on volunteering. COVID put the brakes on that, yet we have found a few spots we can do this.
Ken's mantra is he has his good days and his bad days, and the bad days take care of themselves.
Parkinson Society Nova Scotia was born out of a demonstrated need for education, advocacy, and support.
We are blessed as our journey continues to breach geographical constraints, and we continue to befriend those whom we journey with, knowing we will never meet in person.
