I spoke of family relationships in previous
blog entries, but often friends have a hard time dealing with Parkinson’s too,
even though they don’t liver under the same roof. I am constantly astonished by
some people who have no tolerance or empathy, and would rather cut off
relations than deal with (in their eyes) an unpleasant situation. This shows
poor character indeed, for none of us know what the future holds in store, and
anyone can be struck down with ill health. Unfortunately with Parkinson’s, and
let’s be brutally honest here, the situation isn't going to improve, unless the
miracle we've all been waiting for suddenly materialises. Parkinson’s being a degenerative
disease, makes it very hard for family and friends to see the changes that
slowly take place transforming someone they loved dearly into a façade of the
person they once knew. Some friends stay committed, but others make a dive for
the door and keep running, not even looking back to see if they have hurt or
insulted anyone’s feelings. I wish them well, and hope they never know what it
is to lose one’s good health.
