My Life So Far

At age 38, I remember my boss asking if I had a problem with alcohol
Seeing my tremors when stressed, I wanted to crawl in a hole
I went to the doctors and he said it was my nerves,
He gave me valium and that through me for a curve.
I kept going back to the doctors over the years
They all said there is nothing wrong, just nerves dear.

In 1995, I was in a severe car crash, I am thankful to survived

Cracked bones from my sternum, all ribs and tale bone, but I was alive.

I was able to come through with therapy just fine.

In 2004 I began dragging my leg, 
I saw a neurologist, to see what they would say
I went through so many tests, 
Off to a movement specialist, who is the best
My diagnosis was Parkinson's disease
Is this a joke or some sort of tease
It was like a dream, even though I felt relief
It wasn't my nerves, it had a name
All I knew was Michael J. Fox who had fame

Why me, I can't have anything else, but maybe I could have

I then had an aneurysm in my brain which left me paralyzed

My left side wouldn't move, making me feel so terrified.

Through daily hard work for nearly a year, 

I was back to nearly normal, feeling no more fear.

Then my feet began twisting and toes were curling

I have parkinson's with dystonia, it was hurting

Botox injections helps quite a bit 

Without the injections, my life was for the pits.

 Before I knew it, female problems began

After three surgeries, my life was already planned?

I had my teeth cleaned and that very night I had a dream

All my teeth had fallen out and I  began to scream

I woke up and all of my bottom teeth, were wiggly.

My dentist couldn't explain, but it was quite visibly.

I ended up with implants and bones in my lower jaw.

I still have more problems with them after all.

Last year, with Parkinson's that doctor taps my knee

my leg jumped up, almost hitting him in the jaw, I wanted to flee.

He said that never happened before, lets get an MRI to see

I have another issue to add to my medical list for me

My entire brain is filled with white matter

The doctor began speaking, all I could hear was chatter

It's hardening of the arteries to the brain

I then began to hear and realized I can't complain.

I exercise and meditate each and everyday.

I am in clinical trials and give seminars, that's my way
I have a blog for poetry and one for parkinson's up-to-date information
I named it my positive feeling, stress free workstation 
For everyone to read, it is part of my recreation
