Autorenporträt
I have lived in Staten Island, New York for the majority of my life. I am divorced twice but I have an amazing support system of friends and family. I enjoy staying busy, watching sports, going out to dinner and having company over. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PD) in my 40s. This story is a true account of my journey through life, beginning with highlights prior to the Parkinson's diagnosis, then dealing with Parkinson's disease, and finally undergoing DBS surgery. I'm sharing this story with the hope that it will help others who are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and those that are trying to decide if DBS surgery is right for them.
