039 Parkinson's, Paint and DBS
Episode description
Welcome to the 3rd episode in our 3-part series on inspirational people living their best lives with Parkinson’s. We’ve highlighted a woman who climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and biked across Iowa 6 times and a woman who took up Ping Pong and won gold. She will be defending her title next month in Berlin. Good luck Margie Alley!
On this episode, we speak to an inspirational woman who took up painting after her tremor disappeared with DBS. She finds that painting is calming and helps with other symptoms. And, she has become a real student of her new craft – improving, exploring and being bold with her creativity.
The image for this podcast is one of her paintings. It depicts the mechanical hardware used during her DBS surgery.
Listen on. I hope this episode, as well as the others, inspires you to do something you haven’t done before.
