She was diagnosed with Parkinson's like right as my sister and I

We're having our own families and our careers were like in full swing.

And she was in her late 50s.

She told my sister and me that she was having trouble getting out of a car.

There was something weird about the way she was making these certain transitions, I think, from sitting to standing.

And so we went up to Columbia and...

Within 30 seconds, the doctor was like, yo, she has Parkinson's.

And in the back of my mind, I knew once she had Parkinson's, like I was like, I want to get pregnant right away.

I want my children to know her.

But she was extremely lucky.

She had a very slow progression in the beginning.

We still got her for a long time before she started to lose it.

But there were still just so many times where I was so busy.

Yes.

Yeah.

I didn't realize that there was a difference between acute hospice and just hospice.

So my mom's geriatrician said, I think she should start hospice.

But he sort of meant more like she was going to be taking 30 pills a day.

And I guess I thought it was going to be a precipitous thing, but it wasn't.

It was so many things.
