Dear Marvin, I have received a grant to write a self-study program for registered dietitians on nutrition and Parkinson's disease. I am going to ask permission to include writings from people with PD, and caregivers for PWP. If you are willing, I'd like to includ your writing, below. I think it's important that health professionals have a better understanding of the realities of PD. If you agree, I do not need to use your full name -- I can use Marvin G., or change your name completely. I'd like to add your age, and years diagnosed with PD, though. If you do not wish to have your work printed, however, I understand completely. My very best regards, Kathrynne Marvin Giles wrote: > I never gave it a thought. > Getting up in the morning. > Going to bed at night. > Such simple things, > untill you have to think about them. > Each act a battle of forced action. > Each detail a test of will. > Each motion a uncertainity. > Will I try today, or will I not? > I did try, and though the tears > fell like rain, I was successful > one more time. -- Kathrynne Holden, MS, RD "Nutrition you can live with!"
