I've taken some downtime from Facebook, email, and everything else this week so I could get my head clear. Leaving in a little while to head up to Charlottesville for my appointment with Dr. Wooten at UVA. Spencer is going with me, and I'm sure will distract me from all of it. I have to be there at 9am, and will probably be caught up with that most of the day. Decisions. It's not something I've ever been good at. I've always been indecisive when it comes to making major life changes. I've meditated, prayed, watched a LOT of Sparticus, and spent plenty of down time with Petunia at Carl's place. (If you haven't seen Sparticus... watch it! Great show and lots of eye candy.) Trying to stay positive and look on the BRIGHT side of things. I haven't been to Charlottesville since Ken and I lived there in the 90's. So it will be nice to see the mountains and the town that I love again. I have so many things RIGHT going on in my life. I have a wonderful family, incredible friends that have TURNED into family, reconnected with a man that was a huge part of my life 14 years ago, great partnerships with people in the Parkinson's community in Hampton Roads that have become mentors in my fight with this disease, a dog that won't leave my side no matter what, and I'm busy planning for the Parkinson's walks here at the beach and the NYC Unity walk... both coming within weeks of each other. So overall... I have a lot to be grateful for. I try to remember that when I get down on life.
So my friends and fiends... say some prayers that everything goes well tomorrow. I'll update as soon as I can.
Godspeed billy... And see you in NYC for the unity walk..... Does this mean we are family now :)
