ABOUT ME, DURTAL 
================

You've come to: gopher://sdf/org:70/0/users/durtal/about.txt

I've spent much of my life working for the health and well-being of
others. So, it is a bit odd to be thinking about myself.  However, my
advancing Parkinson's Disease really leaves me with no options. Hence,
this new phlog as the Advent Season of 2024 approaches.

There are reasons for sharing these reflections.

First of all, I need to get as many memories down as I can. They 
are all fading fast as I have a fairly agressive form of the 
disease. I want to be able to return to these memories through 
time. I also want my children to remember.

Secondly, I've learned a lot from others over the years through my 
work in community. I'd like to share some of what I'm going 
through so others might both recognise symptoms that they often 
otherwise ignore. It's good to know what's going on so that you 
can change what you can and accept what you cannot.

I am one of the folks at Circumlunar.Space and you can see my phlogs
there at the address below. They are of a different kind. The gaps in
posts is due to my chronic condition.
