| What happens when you're diagnosed with a lifetime condition at fifty eight years old? This is Terry Rummins' personal account of having Parkinson's Disease; her condition is now considered advanced. So, Parkinson's, Call me Bloody-Minded addresses a very complex neurological disorder, characterised by complications in the motor (movement) and non-motor (cognitive) aspects of the late stage condition. It is written in a hopeful and positive manner despite the burden, placed on the author, of the advanced symptoms and the drug side effects.
In So, Parkinson's, Call me Bloody-Minded, Terry talks about preserving dignity amidst a deteriorating situation where even close relationships come under immense pressure. Her long acquaintance with Parkinson's has created many methods of dealing with the condition's difficulties. These methods are included here.
"In writing this book, I try to indicate how one's dignity, as a Parkinson's person, need not be lost, neither in one's own eyes nor in those of others," explains Terry, a retired psychologist. "Parkinson's steadily worsens over time. One day it will be curable, but in the meantime it is vital that we share with other Parkinson's people, their carers, friends, acquaintances and work colleagues what we can do to manage and alleviate the condition for ourselves. I've written two other books on this subject; this volume is an account of living with the advanced disorder." |
