Drugs and me

Diagnosed: May 25, 2012 Video : March 22, 2023

I got stoned and I missed it: Shel Silverstein

Wow did I waste a lot of time in high school

Who knew that I would need a chemistry degree to live my life right now?

Pills, oils, lotions, puffers, lasers, electric gadgets!

I need to trade in my caregiver Sue,

for a care giver named Igor!

Drugs that can cause addictions and hallucinations.

What could go wrong with that?

I can hear it now,

I was working in my lab

late one night

When up behind me crept

an eerie sight

Caregiver Sue seemed

To come alive

Wanting me to join her

In a drug induced jive

We did the mash

We did the

The Parkie Mash

A festinated shuffle

Caused us to crash

We did the mash

We did the Parkie mash

Whoa, where did that come from?

Sometimes I feel like a walking Apothecary, my own Alchemist!

Writing down times for meals, dosages , trying to figure out the optimal times of when, why and how.

P(2.5) +T3/C=WTF!

Math?

No wonder I can’t sleep!

Can’t sleep!

Have you tried hypno therapy?

Look at me, you’re getting tired

No?

No problem we have something that you can ingest inhale,smoke , and stress about.

Did I hear the word Stress!

We have drugs for that too!

Please take your drugs one hour before meals , with food, a half hour after eating, just before bedtime, and on a empty stomach.

To much to handle,

relax, and meditate , while exercising .

What happens if you have reactions to some of the drugs and puke?

Is that an optimal time to take drugs that require an empty stomach?

Parkinson’s so confuses me

Now I ain’t makin’ no excuses for the many things I uses

Just to sweeten my relationships and brighten up my day

But when my earthly race is over and I’m ready for the clover

And they ask me how my life has been I guess I’ll have to say

I was stoned and I missed it

I was stoned and I missed it

I was stoned and it rolled right by

I was stoned and I missed it

I was stoned and I missed it

I was stoned oh me oh my

The only thing I know

Is I don’t have Parkinson’s

I have My Parkinson’s !

And as much as I must surround my self with a great support team , and educate myself

it comes down to me

To decide on how I deal with

My Parkinson’s

And therefore

My Life

But I am, open to advice.

Have fun and be a warrior
