"I
was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease three years ago and I suspect
it has its roots deep in the past (...) What
used to be just an annoyance, one day evolved steadily into a weird
relationship of my body with the rest of the physical world. And one
of the things that puzzles me, in my new situation, is that I have
trouble kicking off my left slipper. Just the left one. I can't find
any logic in it. It is not like having difficulties tying a
shoelace, something that requires a certain manual dexterity, it is
just kicking off a slipper, easier done than said. This is why I
think that understanding what makes it so attached to my foot will
take me closer to the root of the problem, but for the moment I am so
ignorant of the primary causes of my troubles as you, the scientific
community or my right slipper."
THE TRUE STORY OF MY REBEL LEFT SLIPPER is my next story and it is mostly autobiographical. Here are the first two pages.
