Reading and focusing are becoming much more difficult for me now. I have become critical to the point of berating myself over spelling errors, grammar, missing words, punctuation and rambling sentences. The medical terminology for this is agrammatism. I thought, “What the hell?” This story and subsequent books aren’t meant to be perfect written works. This is a true story of my personal journey with a rare, terminal brain disease called PSP and dementia, which continues to evolve before my readers’ eyes. The road I travel includes my relationship with God, my family, friends, and all the baggage I can carry. Come. I invite you to travel on this journey with me and share in my experiences, wherever they may lead.

Happy to be sharing PSP
My pleasure.
I appreciate you taking the time to give us a great book description and giveaway as well. Thank you so much!
Wishing you luck James.
Sounds like a good book.
Glad to hear it Rita
Curious as to how the cover image fits the book.
Good question. On Magnetic Resonance Imaging – MRI, the area above the (normal) brain stem should have the appearance – outline of a duck. In cases of PSP and mid-brain atrophy the affected area will have the appearance of hummingbird. This has become one of the indicators of probable PSP for neurologists. That is why the hummingbird is now the accepted symbol associated with PSP.
I’m looking forward to reading this one!
If do read the book, could be so kind as to give it a honest review with the retailer you purchased it from.
