Parkinson’s disease

incurable, progressive

a part of our lives

  • In 2020, during lock down, my wife was diagnosed with having Parkinson’s Disease. Of course, it was a huge shock, and we are gently easing ourselves into a life with the disease. Last night I went to my first event for people with PD and their partners/families/carers. It was a brilliantly funny comedy evening with Paul Mayhew-Archer, writer of the Vicar of Dibly, amongst other situation comedies. His honest and intelligent look at PD was brilliantly delivered, and for me at least, removed some of the fear about what lies ahead. I don’t think I would have self-disclosed this through the haiku had I not been to see his comedy show last night. Bravo Paul M-A and all who live with PD.

I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

    1. We are remarkably chipper at the moment, and have moved on a little from the initial shock. Thank you so much for the kind offer. Maybe there will come a time when I’ll call for help.

  6. So sorry to hear the news. It doesn’t have to be all bad. Walking through my wife’s illnesses has brought us closer together. We get to choose our response. Sending good vibes across the Pond.
