Hi. What Is Generally Considered As The General Meaning Of "Newly Diagnosed" For This Group? I Recently Reached My 1st Year Point.
Excellent question!! π€
For me, I will be ...3 years diagnosed come July of 2025

Fortunately he is brilliant at planning and organizing but more than anything....he is my best friend.
I do use a 'personal mobility chair 'π sounds cooler π for outside stuff. I got it last July. As you may be seeing is I am an over achiever π things moved faster than expected after a severe case of covid last January.
That being said...I was diagnosed with stage 3 Parkinson's. Now I dabble in stage 4. It sucks, I hate it, my husband hates it, and so on...
I am just grateful we now know why.
The Lord got me this far...and He is with me now. I'm just not ready to go see Him just yet.
If He takes points off for colorful metaphors, I might need a few prayers π π
