The frustration is running as high as the snows in Wy

Since we got to Fon du Lac the frustration has been unbearable. Where we intended to park became a major controversy so we have spent almost half our time trying to find a place to park the motor home. Finally today we got one. I can finally get the mounting of the tv's done. We are replacing 2 old analog with 2 hdtv's of similar size. We got a bike rack and the kayak rack made by our friend Bill is fantastic. With out Bill and Barb our attempt to get going would be even further behind. At this stop we have wasted valuable time just lookig for our parking spot.

Tomorrow we will visit some of the kids but I'm sure we will be back again before we go. My fear right now is the first few days could be for snow removal it is still snowing out west but I plan to take it easy with the weather,  trying to avoid that  get there at any cost because of weather and to keep travel safe, but the further we can travel in a day gives us a better chance and a bit more tine to visit.

Making this change has taught me more and more the importance of accepting help from friends. I was always just a do it myself type of guy, now I have physical limitations that are hard to admit and harder to believe they are hard limits. If I push past them myself it can take days to recover. As someone once said "it takes a village". The disabilities we have can be overcome with just a little bit of letting someone in, and I know I'll never repay it but it will always be a part of me and how I will try to repay in kind. 9 days to go. Keep us with you and we will do the same.

The Big day

Well after all the hassle of selling the house, tomorrow we pick up our new home. It ended up being delayed by 2 days because the dealer found one of the 2 furnace units had a relay problem turning on the blower. At least it makes me feel like they really do check everything out. We still have aridiculous amount of stuff to deal with, but it is getting closer to our departure date of May 1. My next big worry is the tow dolly for Shelleys car. I think the guy we got it from may not have been the most honest caracture. I've got a few ideas about it so we'll see.

This will be an amazing time for us, no doubt about it. Even my neurologist said he envyed us and our adventure. Both of you who have read this have seen much the same over and over but with luck as we continue on it will be much more informative.  My reasons for writing this are many. A fform of diary and a record for kids and grandchildren to get to know more about who I am, why I'm not there, what I am, and whay and how I think. There may even be a what and how this disease is taking me down. It is not only me however it is also about my wife, my friend, and my care taker and the difficulty her disability effects this journey. Just as wevbegin organizing our new home in the next feweeks I hope to organize this blog into some thing that wil make sense.

 Parkinson's is a very destrutive deaease that at a rate of its choosing destoys the function of our bodies and sometimes our minds. I hope you will journey with us and share. It's a fairly common desease that treats us all the same, we just move at our own pace. Maybe I will even get to announce a cure. But please share your comments and share our story. It wont be a fast passed who done it, we already know that, it's more of a what happens.
