Parkinsons Patient Update: this might be the best day in my Massage therapy career.
My patient that has Parkinsons disease? UNBELIEVABLE!!! Today was his last day of his first set of visits. My patients get 12 visits. Then they renew.
The first day he came, he was shuffling along. He could barely walk without a walker. He’s the first person I couldn’t actually lay down so his first 6/7 visits was in a chair. He even told me he didn’t want to live more than three more years with Parkinson’s. I asked him if he had a better quality of life. Would he want to live longer? He told me yes, and that was enough for me to give him everything I have.
Each week my patient was getting more mobile and more flexible at this point. The last few appointment I was able to have him lean over the table so that I could work on his back and lower extremities. That’s when things took a drastic change. He damn near came in skipping steps. His grandson is showing me how happy he is that his grandfather has made so much progress.
Today for the first time ever, he was able to lay down on his stomach and able to turn over to his back. He had to have a pillow prop him up if I attempted to lay him down within the eighth week. I’m about to cry now.  He couldn’t believe it himself. My patient got up off the table by himself. Fast.
He said ever since my last appointment, I have been feeling phenomenally well. He has not had any tremors all week. He’s not shuffling around anymore. He’s picking up both feet and putting them down like he used to. He is a very proud man that served this country with honors.
To give him his quality of life back does my soul very well.  I can’t say enough in words about how I feel right now. I’ve been waiting for a long time to prove my work on this level. Parkinsons?? Yes Parkinsons!!! We are kicking that mofos ssa!!!! His next set of 12 visits are going to be a game changer for his life and I’m glad that God chose me to walk this journey with him.
To God Be The Glory. I’m outdone with Him. He never ceases to amaze me.  I want to tell the world about his Goodness!!! You don’t have to let Parkinsons defeat you. God has a Kim in the bush! The goat with the crazy hands!
