By: Ginger


I WAS DIAGNOSED NOV 2005  BY DR POWERS IN AZ. I worked for 24 years at IBJD. I was a xray tech, surgery and test scheduler.Did billing etc. The team broke up and Oct 2006 I moved back to Nebraska by family. I have been married 41 years to my HS sweetheart. No one in my family has PD. I am the oldest of 8 kids. Oct 2008 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I was in treatment for a year. Plus in and out of the hospital.I filed for disability. They based it on my Breast Cancer not my PD. I had DBS in Oct 2017 I  am doing much better now. I had 2 seizures and didn't wake up for 2 weeks.I  don't  remember anything. Had intense therapy afterwards.To walk,talk,drive,cooking,house cleaning,playing cards.I thank Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital. Now I use a cane part time. I go to baseball and softball with my grandkids.
