Darlene My life with Parkinson's
Канада
Добавлен 4 июн 2015
I am an older model woman in my 60s that was diagnosed with Parkinson's approximately 10 years ago. It took me awhile to realize that this was really happening and that I was changing. As I lose somethings that make me unique I wanted my family to have a way to remember me as I was not how the disease made me become. This is my story as it is, the good, the bad and the unfortunate. I hope you laugh and are encouraged and if we shed a tear now and then it's no worries for life is life and what we do with it is our choice.

Catching up. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
Hi Darlene, I love having leftovers in the fridge! Im glad you are all settled in your room. I can understand why you wanted Bill to have the shower in his room. Not much going on here. ❤
Good to see you Darlene, I think you're looking great! Thanks for the chat. Things are busy here, too.
Good morning Darlene! ❤❤❤❤
Good morning!
Sounds like things are moving along nicely. No more lifting. You don’t want to damage yourself. Getting out with Claudine is great. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
You got that right!
Hi.good morning😊
Good morning
@@darlenemylifewithparkinsons Hello, how are you?🥰
Soups, Stews & Roast are ALWAYS BETTER the 2nd Day!YUM!😋 Watch that Lifting 👎🏻! Still Loving your Videos!😁
Glad you like them!
Hi Darlene and sweet family! Sounds like Bill had a good day and lunch. I’m sure you and Claudine are glad to be done switching rooms. I hope your arm feels better, take care of yourself. Leftover soup sounds delicious. Safe travels on your trip to the store. Hope everyone has a very blessed day!❤️
Yes we are
Hi Darlene, Boy, Aurora is a fast crawler! They were having a ball with the paper towels! They are such cute kids. I use to fall for April Fools jokes all the time. Forgetting the groceries... now that is something I would do!
Loved the stories the pigeon stew was funny and I loved seeing the grandkids having so much fun with Claudine they are so cute together
Hope you had an awesome Labor Day! God bless and take care!!!
love your stories .All the best NL Canada.
Glad you like them!
Good morning Darlene! The second story was funny about the pigeon stew. Kids don't need expensive toys they get enjoyment with household items. Aurora is a little monkey cute how she is teasing her brother ha!ha! Have a good day Hugs 🤗🤗❤
They are so fun to have around.
Hi Darlene and sweet family! I’m glad everyone is doing well. Oh my goodness, loved the stories Darlene. The grandbabies are so adorable and I hope you had a wonderful time. Have a very blessed day everyone! ❤️
So Much fun
So precious, all of it, seniors and littles. Love ya'll!
Thank you so much
Happy Labour Day Beautiful Lady and Family ❤ I hope that arm of yours gets better real soon Hugs xoxo🤗♥
Happy Labour Day. Wishing your arm gets better soon. Switching rooms and rearranging is a big task. All the best🌸🌺🌻
Hope your weekend is wonderful too. 💕nonnagrace
Hello Darlene looking forward to the chicken dish. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
Good morning, Darlene! I'm glad you had a good night's sleep. Switching rooms is a big chore and you just over did it. I hope your arm feels better soon. We are having a cold morning (65°f 18.3c). The dogs and I just went for a good walk and we want to go back to sleep now! I hope your grandkids get to come visit you soon. Happy Labor Day!
Good morning Darlene! Glad to hear you are sleeping better. Hope you get to see your grandkids. I spent a couple nights in Regina at my daughter's, got to see my grandkids for abit. Now with school starting Tuesday and their activities I don't see them very much. Hope your having a good Labour weekend. Hugs 🤗🤗❤❤
Have a Bless Day and great weekend ❤❤hugs to all❤ your drink sounds so good Happy Labor Day Weekend 👍♥️🌹🇺🇸
So glad you had a good nights sleep❤
Hi Darlene ❤❤
Hi Darlene and sweet family! I hope your arms feel better. I hope you get to visit with the grandbabies soon. I hope everyone has a very blessed Labor Day weekend too!
Darlene, I am typing this up as I listen/watch your video. My sweet lady, you are amazing. And, your family is also. You are so far ahead of us regarding technology for PD, pump? etc. My loved one is NOT interested in 'shots' in the neck yet. One side likely cortisone and the other side ... botox. We were told. Anyway, this is LIFE. We all do our best. Your channel, YOU ... are the most authentic person I have seen on RUclips. .... well .... there are a few on here that I've had the good fortune to see their love and authenticity and community spirit. Well, just trying to say, I'm SO glad that I found your channel. My eyes and ears are open for things that I learn from you that may help my husband. Anecdotally ..... I learned that Canada also celebrates Labor Day!
Thank you. So much for your kind words. I really do try to make it exactly like real life for me. There's good days and there's bad days but I choose the good days mostly. I look forward to getting to know you through the comments welcome.
@@darlenemylifewithparkinsons I just woke up from a nap. I almost NEVER nap. But by noon, it had been one of those days. Super productive. Exhausting. So I kept pushing a couple hours, then I rested a couple hours. Very necessary. Some of the things that folks don't discuss much are the business end of things. Whether a person has a progressive disease like PD (like my husband) or not ... and whether a person has dementia yet, or has it diagnosed yet, or not. (It does not always but can happen with PD.) There are considerations that are best discussed, I would say the sooner the better. My husband's PCP asked him to please complete his advanced directive / living will documents ... A YEAR AGO. He was very hesitant and had his reasons. Finally, the paperwork is done. His wishes remain about what he has discussed with me for the past year or two. In our state, it MUST be in writing and 'official' or else the spouse does not automatically get to advocate and make choices for their loved one if that person becomes unable to do so, for whatever reason. I think I will add this to my list of things I want to cover on my channel. Maybe a to do list of sorts and also a video just on this topic. I only started making little samples of songs about a week ago. I've seen a couple of good channels in the past couple of weeks, including yours which address PD or @dementiacaregiving by John and Heather ... OR Jason and Leslie's channel @LivingwithDementia ... and the channels are helpful and the comments from other viewers is very helpful. Well, like usual, this comment became way too long. The exhaution and relief from knowing we got the important documents completed probably just wore me out. I appreciate your offer to get to know each other through the comments. My comments to you are super heartfelt and with much appreciation for all that you share and all the work your family is doing to lift you and each other up, to take care of you all as best as possible and to love each other. You are not alone. Thanks again. Lynn (Mom was Nancy, too, so my parents and friends always have called me "Lynn".)
Hello Darlene! Thank you for the update - glad to hear about almost being pain free! Hope Bill feels better soon. God bless and have an amazing week!
Hello Darlene! Love your videos about Parkinson's - they are very informative! God bless and take care!
Hi Darlene, Good to hear your getting some pain relief. I hope you get a better sleep tonigh. Sorry to hear about Bill. I know whatever you and Claudine decide to do, you will have his best interest at heart. Enjoy the rest of your weekend xoxoxo ❤🤗
Thanks so much
Thanks for sharing Darlene, hoping you continue to be almost pain free. I had a cortisone shot. close to the hip, in my left leg on Friday. My problem it seems is Bursitis of the hip. The shots sure do help stop the pain. A minimum of 3 months between shots.
That's great that you're almost pain free. I'm sorry to hear about Bill. I hope it gets better. ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much
Hello Darlene, glad you’re almost pain free. Hope Bill is doing better soon. I also hope you sleep better. 💕 NonnaGrace 🐓
I hope so too
Hello,I hope everything with the shower works out and we wish bill the best🙏🙏🙏
I hope so too
Woohoo 🎉 so happy Darlene ❤ sorry to hear 👂 about Bill 😢 oh ice cream yummy .. I scream for ice cream 🍦 so happy for you can you see I’m wiggling and giggling 🤭 😂😂 hugs have a great weekend so happy for you ❤❤❤ 👍♥️🌹 8:55
Thanks so much
Carol is a GREAT friend of ours for a long time now and I see you are as well. Hoping Bill improves soon.
Thankyou and welcome
BIG LIKE 8 here for you Darlene! Mrs. Betty had MS and we know the medical and other life struggles and concerns that you are experiencing! You look and sound great and very happy that you are “pain free” !
GM ❤Darlene
I'm glad Claudine got to get out and have some fun. That will do her a world of good. Oh, completely changing rooms sounds like such a big undertaking, but it will be nice to get your things all situated in a "new" room.
Hi Darlene, I have gotten behind in your videos but I'm trying to catch up. You look so pretty today! Your positive nature is inspiring. You have the best attitude of anyone I know.❤
Thankyou so much
Hi Darlene, I am so happy to hear that you are mostly pain free! I'm sorry to hear about Bill. That is a shame that the transfer stool won't work. I'm just so glad you found someone to give you these injections. I hope you sleep better tonight!
I slept great, first time in a long while
Hi Darlene and sweet family! I’m so glad to hear you are finally feeling better. I’m sorry you had a rough night and that Bill is not doing as well as hoped. Go to a health supplier and tell them the problem you’re having with the tub and being able to transfer from the outside to the inside of the tub. Hopefully Bill will understand that he is not listening to the help being given. I will be keeping you all in my prayers and thoughts. Have a very blessed weekend! ❤️
We found a solution to the tub issue. Yeah
Hello darlene, i am a frequent viewer, but i have not commented, so i am just here to say hi!

@@darlenemylifewithparkinsons my oldest grandaughter is in Calgary
Heya Darlene! Glad the tube's been checked - pretty surprising it's being replaced so soon, but certainly for the best. God bless!
Yes! Thank you!
You inspire me just by what you have to say Darlene. How I remember when you would come to my home in Delta and we would have chats (re first marriage) you got through it and came out a trooper in the end 💕💕
Sometimes I truly wonder how I did get through it but you're right.I came through it at the end.And the world looked a lot better after that
Hello Darlene! You are an inspiration to us all, I wish I was as positive as you. That's good you have excepted you life it has made it better for your family and you. Thanks for sharing. Hugs 🤗🤗
Thank you so much!
Hello Darlene, I love your attitude. I too get anxious and moody when I don't feel the best. My family is so supportive and Helpful. I too have to remind myself that I am very lucky thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
