"Parkinson gives me more than it takes away," says journalist Henk Blanken. For example, sitting for hours in the garden and watching the clouds in the sky was something he never had time for before the diagnosis. As a highly regarded journalist, he was always under pressure. Now he stumbles, trembles, has lost control of his movements, and is becoming forgetful. This forces him to slow down. When he learns of his diagnosis, his first reaction is: "Well, that's a good story." He has masterfully written down this, his story. Rarely has a person with Parkinson's documented their own illness so compellingly. It is about accepting physical decline and - even more frightening - mental decline, but also about the question of how long a life is worth living.
