At the April 8 meeting, Janet Ampe talked about Parkinson's disease. Speaking fro personal experience, as she was diagnosed with it when only 40-years old, she explained the nature and treatment options of the disease, and the stage of grief one experiences when diagnosed with it (denial, anger, etc.). Janet said she has received blessings through her illness, including strengthened faith, better perspective re. what is important, patience and contact with people she would not otherwise have met.
