NOTES

Read by Dennis Jernigan

In Parkinson's & Recreation, Dennis takes the listener from the devastating and dreaded moment of hearing the words, "Mr. Jernigan. You have Parkinson's Disease," to the instances of discovering unexpected moments of joy and peace as he came to terms with the diagnosis and symptoms he's lived with for over four years now. With open honesty and humor, Jernigan bares his soul about overcoming the difficulties of fear and anxiety that often creep in when breaking the news of a diagnosis like this. Through stories and anecdotes, as well as practical advice, Dennis shares the beauty of his journey so far, and the myriad opportunities he's found to make new and lasting-and sometimes hilarious-memories with his family. Whether you suffer from Parkinson's Disease (PD), know someone who does, or whether you have no experience with PD at all, this book will prove to be a breath of fresh air to you in the chaotic world around you. In a nutshell, Parkinson's and Recreation is the story of a man who decided to change his attitude and perspective when faced with a dreaded circumstance. It's the story of a man who has chosen to live life fully…and die well. A warning to the most pious listeners: Jernigan shares a few stories teetering very near the boundaries of good taste (to almost bawdy in nature), but all with the hope of showing the good, the bad, and the humorous as honestly as possible
