As I look outside and see the sun reflecting off the snow and enjoying the way the house is decorated for Christmas, I can't help but think back to this time last year and all that has happened. It was around this time last year that I really began to realize something was wrong. I kept getting lost while driving - being confused as to where I was going or how to get there.

Then a tremor began in my right hand - not too bad at first but it seemed to get progressively worse. Again, I chalked it all up to being overtired and stressed. When I began to start falling and couldn't keep my balance, and I could not remember conversations I just had, I finally acknowledged that something was going on.
