My dad hasn't been well for a while now and it's really hard for me to be so far away from my dad (who's in Cyprus) and my mum (who splits her time between Plymouth for her work & Dad in Cyprus) along with the rest of my family down south.
Last week my dad finally swallowed his pride and went to the private doctor in Larnaca to get an assessment. He was almost instantly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
I'm not going to lie, it hit me hard! I knew he wasn't well and it explains his falls, scatty memory & his slur in his voice. I am just glad we finally have a diagnosis & he can get the treatment he needs.
Because of this news I've been quite "bad" with my eating and exercise. In fact I've been very apathetic about everything.
I can't let the negative external factors of my life affect my progress physically or emotionally so I've decided to get back into the right frame of mind for a successful transformation.
I have decided, after a long chat with my fiancée that we need to make some changes to the wedding plans. Currently we had planned on booking a yacht for a 2 hour cruise after the ceremony but I don't want to put my Dad in any position where he struggles & getting on and off a boat he will struggle. So it's back to the drawing board! Any post ceremony drinks/canapé ideas that you can offer will be great! At least it's an opportunity to get back into my wedding planning!
Because after all, positive mental attitude breeds a positive outcome.
