This might be funny...if it happened to someone else!!!

I was going to share some info on this blog that I received when I attended a "Sessions With Your Neurologist" meeting a week ago put on by John Hopkins University Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorder Center. One of their Neurologists, Dr. Ray Dorsey, MD - Director of the Movement Disorder Division at John Hopkins puts these sessions together quarterly with the subject matter decided by the participants at the previous session. The sessions are for anyone with Parkinson's Disease and their family members. This is the first session I have had the opportunity to go to and I hope to be able to attend more in the future.

This particular session's topic was "Mood and Behavior in Parkinson's Disease". Dr Ray invited Dr. Greg Pontone, MD - Director of the Movement Disorder Psychiatric Clinic, to do a presentation. Along with his presentation was a discussion with questions and answers. He broke the topic into the following areas:
    Anxiety
    Cognitive
    Impulse Control
    Mood
    Psychotic
It was very informative and helpful.

I would like to share with you what I learned about these areas...except there is a problem. I opened up my notebook where I took notes and I can not make heads or tails of what I wrote.

You see, I started taking notes on one page, while trying to listen and write fast at the same time. I flipped to the next note book page to continue writing, skipping the back of the first one I wrote on. Then I turned that page over and wrote on the back of it, (I think). Then somewhere during the session, I apparently decided to go back and put notes on the back pages I had skipped, then... well you get the gist. And to make matters worse, I didn't put any topic headings on the pages so that I know what the notes are referencing.

As I look through my notes - it is all jumbled together - but there is some good stuff in there. Trust me!

Like...on one page I wrote:

Executive Function - Breakdown - organizing, planning, and sequencing.

Reasonable efforts aren't translating into productivity.

HHMmm... Kind of sounds like my note taking efforts!
I wonder what that breakdown signifies....????
