With times, when she became very advance in her disease, I was curious if she was still bright due she was not able to do much and was at the incontinent stage and could barely talk. I did a test with her of mathematic because she was in accounting, and with a calculator, I give her a bunch of x,+,- and divisions and this quite fast and her answer was exactly the same as my calculator… So, amazed, I said to my mom, how can you do that? Your brain is still in good condition, after all…She said with a little voice, my body doesn’t listen to my brain, I am a prisoner in my own body! It really affected me to see this, against her will she was in a prison, the one of life, and still, since then nothing have been really discovered and it’s one of the worst disease of all…If you think the people have a bad life in prison, think about those PD patients, they live a good life and are in worst condition, then them and government doesn’t do enough for that disease! In 1993, she got lucky. She caught a cold that changed into a bad pneumonia and few weeks after having been admitted to this hospital, she die in my dad’s arms. When I received the news I was sadly happy because her sorrows were over and I thanked god for it, she was now in heaven because she was a good person and the best Mom of all. On this, I hope the doctors or researchers will find the solutions because seeing one of your loved ones with this just breaks your heart, and I don’t wish this to nobody or someone else in my family if it’s genetic! this is why we need to find remedies, because soon you will know someone too!
