Until recently, I knew very little about Parkinson's Disease. I thought it was the case that you had "the shakes" and a dodgy memory.
I've put off writing this because it's really upsetting, but here's what I know now and what it means to me.
I've finally got my hands on the sequel to my favourite xbox 360 game, and it's amazing
Now to write about it without spoiling the plot.

Here's a fact for you, February is only the shortest month if you get some sleep, otherwise, it's infinitely long, and painful.
It's been eventful from the outset so here's how my month is going so far.

Introducing the latest addition to my menagerie, Charlotte Elizabeth, my first daughter.
Born 01/02/2010, which is a palindrome, neat. Unfortunately, her coming into this world didn't happen the way we planned.

Describing the iPad as a large format iPhone is a huge understatement. This is a revolution for developers, consumers, and the industry as a whole.

Spent 10 minutes on databases and 30 minutes inventing / playing google analytics top trumps
Teaching databases to a boy with autism. We're both enjoying.
Woo @nineplanfailed just cropped up in my last.fm playlist.
RT @RealBillBailey: best film I've seen recently, about a Mongolian horseman who is contemptous of traditional tents, The Yurt Mocker
You have also moved me to tears,very nice things you have said about my dad. He would be very proud of you and he would loved what you have written. I too thought parkinsons only made your hands shake,and memory bit fuzzy just so sad that it has taken his voice away and his smile that is the worst bit. and i would imagine he may well have kept your letters. What is also sad is that he cant write his diarys any more saying what the weather was like that day, times he used to refer back to them if we said that summer had been horrible or last time we had bad snow.
Comment added to: Parkinson's DiseaseYou have also moved me to tears,..... thank you for all the wonderful things you have said about my dad.......I know he would be so very very proud of you.... I am also very proud to be his daughter as he has taught me so many wonderful things about life.....and it breaks my heart to see him how he is now x x
Comment added to: Parkinson's Diseaseyou have moved me to tears now, my grandad/your uncle is a fighter and he is having his down days but he has having many more up days now and is coming out of hospital to be ina nursing home which is great news!! he is proud of you and im sure he wanted to tell you that but he couldnt but i know my grandad and i know he will be proud!!
Comment added to: Parkinson's DiseaseMate, are you serious? How could he NOT be proud of you? I don't see much NOT to be proud of with you! I suspect that you're too hard on yourself sometimes. You're right, of course. There's always all the time in the world...until there isn't, and then you beat yourself up thinking that you could've/should've done something different. His deterioration is a sad inevitability. Try to picture him as you remember him from your youth. That was what defined him, not his condition now.
Comment added to: Parkinson's DiseaseThanks guys, I was just a bit upset last night after writing this.
