I will be speaking virtually on September 17 for a program on creative journaling to aid you through your Parkinson’s journey. We will dive into why someone with Parkinson’s should journal and the benefits of journaling. We will discuss different kinds of journaling, including documentation of medical symptoms, and poetry. Registration is on the Parkinson’s Support & Wellness website.

Last year was very bad year for me. I became very ill, and landed in the hospital four to five times throughout the summer. Thankfully, I made a full recovery and feel wonderful!
This leads me to today’s topic: Preparing for a Doctor Visit or a Hospital Stay. Parkinson’s Support and Wellness is hosting an educational program for people with Parkinson’s and their advocates. The presentation is How to Prepare for a Doctor Visit or Hospital Stay and will be Saturday, October 17th from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The program is part of their regular PD EDU series which you can view at http://parkinsoncincinnati.org/pd-edu. You can register on that page, or you can go directly to the registration page. Since this is a zoom conference, you must register to get the zoom link.
It is so important to be organized for either a doctor visit or hospital stay. Your visits to either place will go much better if you prepare. We will discuss getting things organized for the doctor or hospital. I hope you will join us on Zoom. See you Saturday!
