Book Description
The story is about the trip I undertook to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Climbing Kilimanjaro was not in my bucket list of things I wanted to do before the end of my time in this world, nor was I physically ready to be part of such a great venture. My experience of this venture related very well with how I see the world around me and how we as people engage and relate with the universe. Climbing Kilimanjaro became a perfect analogy on how to interpret the life we live. It was about the survival on this earth. Our interaction with people and earthly creation is fully captured in a matter of few days on the mountain.

If I Can Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, Why Can't I Brush My Teeth?
Author: Nan Little
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781508758341
Category : Hiking
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Chronicles an older woman's unorthodox approach to managing PD. She tells stories, encouraging patients to draw from her experiences points that are relevant to their own lives. She doesn't hide. Hallucinations, constipation, compulsive behaviors, and loss are all part of the picture. So is the emotion of standing on the roof of Africa, dipping her bike wheel in the Mississippi after cycling across Iowa for seven days and paying careful attention as her two year old granddaughter explains how to stop her "dancing hand". Each story is laced with courage, tenacity and love. "Nan shows how even the most challenging obstacles life puts in front of us can be stepping stones to something greater than we ever dreamed!" Linna Dossett Patient efficacy, having some control over her personal Parkinson's path, distinguishes this book from other medical memoirs. Nan encourages patients to take action based on scientific research with measurable outcomes. "You have Parkinson's disease." Those few words throw a person on an ice sheet with no ice axe to arrest the slide. Nan's story can be an ice axe. An estimated 1-1.5 million Americans live with Parkinson's with an additional 50,000-60,000 diagnosed each year, numbers growing as the population ages. Globally, this chronic neurodegenerative disease currently affects about 5 million. Although this book is about her experiences with Parkinson's, it is appropriate for any person who endures a neurodegenerative disease, and those who work with them or care about them.
