Michael J Fox: I’m not gonna lie, it’s getting harder šŸ˜­šŸ’” Prayers needed for Michel J Fox šŸ˜­šŸ’”

Many of us look back with our memories to some of the movies and shows where we first were introduced to Michael J Fox and we smile. He has been keeping us entertained for many decades, even though he has been living with Parkinsonā€™s disease for many years.

 

After being diagnosed with Parkinsonā€™s disease in the early 90s, he began to advocate for those who have the condition. Unfortunately, it hasĀ reallyĀ taken a toll in recent years and he feels that he wonā€™t live to see 80 years old.

For most people with a Parkinsonā€™s diagnosis, living past the age of 61 isĀ reallyĀ going to be the higher end. For a long time, we thought that he would do better, but now he says that itā€™s getting more difficult.

 

He said: ā€œIā€™m not gonna lie. Itā€™s gettinā€™ hard, itā€™s gettinā€™ harder. Itā€™s gettinā€™ tougher.

ā€œEvery day itā€™s tougher. But, but, thatā€™s, thatā€™s the way it is. I mean, you know, who do I see about that?ā€

He also spoke about a recent spinal surgery he had because of a spine tumor. The tumor was benign but it has caused him to fall more frequently. As a result, he has broken his arms, elbow, face, and hand.

 

He went on to say that you donā€™t die from Parkinsonā€™s, you die WITH Parkinsonā€™s. He then went on to say: ā€œIā€™ve been thinking about the mortality of it. ā€¦ Iā€™m not gonna be 80. Iā€™m not gonna be 80.ā€

Fox has recently spoken about the intense pain he is experiencing, describing each tremor as being like a seismic jolt.

 

ā€œItā€™s not so much pain from the movement, but from the not moving. Itā€™s when you freeze, and in that freezing that not-movement becomes infused with all this energy and it becomes this burning, impending thing that never happens.

 

ā€œI donā€™t want to get the violins out. Iā€™ve broken my hand, my elbow, my humerus, my other humerus, my shoulder, my faceĀ andĀ someĀ other sā€” too. And all that stuff is amplified by the electricity of the tremors. So, yes, it hurts a lot. But what you learn is that nobody gives a sā€”.

Itā€™s just life. It doesnā€™t matter. You suck it up and you move on. And there might be a story to tell in it. But only that. Thereā€™s no chit that you can present to a window for a refund.
