New in Fayette County...
Posted by: pokie too at 1:24AM CST on January 4, 2009
I spent the day yesterday downloading copies of all my writing and organizing.  I read and reread the events of the last six months in total amazement of the things that had happened.  I think I will just bring up bits and pieces for a while and let everyone get caught up....

We in Fayette County are hungry for medical knowledge, as are most counties with inquisitive "baby boomers" not wanting to just take the diagnoses and go home with the meds and never question.  Something about the "Old Hippy" just never takes anything at face value and leaves it that way.

Several months back I gathered all my books and material and courage up and visited the Fayette County Hospital to find out if they had a support group for Neurological Disorders and if not did they want me to start one.

As luck would have it my first encounter was Kim Shanks, who got the ball rolling by furnishing me with a conference room , tv and refreshments.  We lined up a radio interview and the ball was rolling.   I have now been on the Morning Show with Dan Michaels twice and will be going back again  the 20th of this month.  If the weather wil just cooperate we can really get this launched in a big way .

Next on the Agenda will be trying to get a Medical Symposium together for spring.  We have doctors and health people who have expressed an interest to unite to use our physilities to the best with the most update programs....I seem  like an unlikely connection ...but over the last year have had many programs tested on me and have volumes of paperwork to distribute not to mention the people I have met in the Parkinson's Field to help.

The next six months should be very interesting as things come together for the area.
