Merry Christmas you filthy animals 😝

2025 has not been the easiest year. Despite making things slightly easier overall, I suppose, some things seem so simple yet so difficult.... daily tasks when you have advanced are just so hard, and looking after the kids, i feel very limited in my capability and it's very frustrating and upsetting... stress makes my body seize up. My mental health is prob at an all time low... BUT I've grown my hair, and my head wounds are close to being healed (should really be by now!) so that's something. Makes me feel slightly better anyway.
One of my highlights this year (and i hope for the year to come) is that I'm really enjoying walking football and can't wait to meet my ladies' team again when we train on 3 Jan 🥰
I have Christmas and a birthday to get through before that, though, so have a great one - I'll be getting through a huge biscuit hamper from my bestie if you need me 😇💙❤️ (Ringtons ftw)

Thank you very much (and ) for this pin badge, which had arrived when I got home - I could have done with this today when travelling to hospital... Not sure about the design as the back is difficult to remove for Parky fingers and I'm a little worried it might fall off my clothing or bag and get lost, but the idea is good. We'll see if it works / if the greater public are aware of what it means in due course... I'll browse the papers sent too 💙💙💙

Packed room for the debate on
Was proud to be there and grateful to for speaking on my behalf and to all the MPs who spoke on behalf of the many thousands of people with Parkinson's in the UK, sadly most had a familiar story to tell of prolonged time to diagnosis, lack of comprehensive care and lack of access to specialist services, to name just a few issues... don't get me started on access to benefits...🙄 deserves more attention and funding, end of ✋️
Thanks to Nick for the seat, Gaynor and for the company 💙💙💙. Apparently I was staring at a camera I didn't realise was there!

Early symptoms that (eventually) led to my diagnosis - - I had just had my system reinserted when I filmed this last year hence the bruised face, slightly weird facial expressions and mild (I don't think it had been switched on yet but I am aware these still happen now).
