Doesn’t Charity just bring out the worst ideas, the worst compromises, the worst standards ….. it’s like it forgets to have any kind of self esteem…

All I can say in response to that message is that if you were the only person who had read Slender Threads, it would have been worth it. Thank you.

Thank you for writing Slender Threads. It is a beautifully written account of an ugly disease (I was diagnosed last year at age 33). One of the major themes I think is your attempt to understand the prognosis; as you say, those three words, chronic, incurable, progressive. I’ve been trying to resist thinking of the future because Parki’s is too unpredictable and the future simply doesn’t exist yet. We only have the chance to react in the present to what is happening now (as you know, cricket is played one ball at a time). Just after diagnosis I nearly drove myself nuts thinking of all the might-be’s. I was missing the chance to manage my symptoms now.

Anyway, your book has helped me understand and I thank you for that!
