I'm a 55-year old federal writer-editor who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease 10 years ago. My balance and gait are severely affected, so I work from home. I attempt to attack this disease… mostly by laughing at it.
I hope I can bring a smile to your face as well.

Which Am I? Elmer or Porky?
The other night, my wife and I were conversing over one thing or another and I kicked into my newly found Parkinson’s stutter.
Gail said, “I’m going to have to start calling you Elmer.”
“Elmer? Why?”
“Isn’t he the cartoon character who stutters?”
“No,” I said. “You’re thinking of Porky Pig.”
“Oh, that’s right,” she said.
“Yeah, Elmer has problems with his “L” and “R” sounds. I don’t have that problem.”
“Not yet,” she said without even looking at me.
My wife. She woves me vewy, vewy much!
