Thursday Around Dinner Time…

Tumbled Memoir

— the internet’s only Parkinson’s rom-com.

After 25 years away Emma returns to her home town.

A place she swore she’d never set foot in again…except it happens to be where the love of her life lives.

Now she must navigate moving two small children the length of the country, find a place to live, reconnect with old friends, make new ones, adapt to the awful weather, find a way to feed herself and discover whether she and her love are meant to be.

Oh, Emma also discovers she has Parkinson’s.

Read it here.

Thank you!!

Really good blog about ‘coming out’ at work about PD. It’s possible that I could have hidden it physically, but not emotionally. bit.ly/ParkyBoyComing… I’d hate to work somewhere where I couldn’t be ‘out’, but I know this may feel like an impossible luxury for many.
