Someone suggested I read a book titled “Dancing in Small Spaces.” I downloaded it from Amazon and read it quickly. It is a gripping true story of a couple’s life together. Leslie Davidson and her husband Lincoln get diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and Lewy Body dementia, respectively, around the same time. Although it can be tough to read if you are currently a person with either Parkinson’s disease or Lewy Body dementia, in the end it is a story of love, support and compassion. I really wanted to speak with the author after I finished the book and bring the story to you, the listeners of the Parkinson’s Experience podcast.
What’s it like to be both a patient and care partner at the same time? How do you balance your needs with your partners? How do you make difficult, life altering decisions when you used to make them with your partner?
This is not a sad story although there are sad moments. It is a story of true love that you will be grateful you have read it. Listen on.
