Family

My son, his wife, and two daughters are visiting from across the USA. This is their first time visiting my home in 5 years, and we are hosting a huge open house of their military friends, college buddies and his high school friends. There are lots of kids running around the house, chasing lighten bugs. It’s a hoot. Tomorrow, we all leave for a family wedding 3 hours away with 4 generations attending. Our youngest (daughter) will be introducing her serious boyfriend to some more people in the family. Our middle child (daughter) is hosting the clan after the wedding.

How do I feel? I actually cried today because I had PD. At 58, I am functioning much older. I work hard to keep up, and allow people to help me, but hell I just want things to be back when I could keep up with all this. The women in my family are hardy into the 80s. I fear the worst of both worlds, living to my 80s and being helpless. I have an endless number of people telling me how good I look, how much better I move now, how great it is that I do all the things I need to do, but still PD sucks.
