"I’m feeling sad and overwhelmed. My movement disorder specialist confirmed my diagnosis of Parkinson’s on January 23. I’m sad because I’m now dealing with a torn rotator cuff and surgery on March 5. I am not able to make the 8 hour drive to visit my son. I miss traveling. Also, several dear friends have passed away over the last 6 months. One friend is under the care of hospice. My sweet neighbor has terminal cancer. 2 of my pets are seniors with health issues. It’s just a very sad time for me. I will see my therapist next week. For now I pray, knowing that things will improve. I have a whole niece who listens to my problems. My husband is a good helper. I do have much to be thankful for. "
