Shaky Paws Grampa Blog: Together Again

 I created a “Shaky Paws Grampa” patient perspective website in 2014 as a resource for patients, care partners and families as well as a source of insight for others with interest in PD.  I made a decision to discontinue the website, as well as my PD facebook page, in 2021 because I was no longer able keep them up to date due to disease progression and I was not comfortable with the possibility of providing outdated or inaccurate information.

One of key elements of the website was my SPG blog, We ran into some technical difficulties in moving the blog and, by the time I got back to it, someone had bought the rights to “shakypawsgrampa.com”, obviously an opportunistic purchase because it was getting a high level of response.  Sure enough, they tried to sell it back to me at a higher price. I was not about to allow their subterfuge to succeed, so I changed to “shakypawsgrampa.net”.  I republished what I could pull together of the original website and began publishing new posts.

I have recently discovered a page from the website that listed links to the original blog and am reprinting it here, The combination of this list and the current shakypawsgrampa.net blog should contain all posts I have written since 2011.
