No matter how positive he has been about his situation, the 61-year-old has never played down the effects of Parkinson’s disease on his health and well-being.
Fox recently talked about his approaching death and said that having Parkinson’s disease was “getting tougher.” “I’m not going to lie.” Things are getting harder and harder. Fox told Jane Pauley, host of CBS Sunday Morning, “It’s getting harder.”
“Every day gets worse.” But that’s just how things are. That sounds like something I should talk to someone about. He also said that he had recently had surgery on his back because of a tumour.
Even though it wasn’t dangerous, it made it hard for him to walk and caused him to fall, which hurt him: “I broke this arm, this arm and this elbow.” My face was hurt.
Fox told Pauley, “My hand broke.” It is not possible to die from Parkinson’s disease. “If you have Parkinson’s, you die,” Fox said to end. “I’ve been thinking about how short its life is.” I’m not going to live to be 80. I’m not going to live to be eighty.
Before the release of his new documentary, Still, which follows the actor’s life over the past 30 years, Fox’s fight with the brain disorder has once again come to light. He was diagnosed with it in 1991 after noticing a tremor in his pinky finger.
In the movie, he is said to say, “I’m in unbearable pain.” Every shaking feels like a sudden earthquake.
Recently, he explained what he meant by what he said by telling The Times, “It’s not so much pain from the movement, but from the not moving.” In this case, you stop, and your still motion soaks up all of this energy and takes on a burning, imminent quality.
“I won’t let you take away the violins.” I’ve broken bones in my hand, arm, humerus, other humerus, shoulder, face, and a few other places.
All of that is made worse by the power of the shocks. Yes, it hurts a lot. You find out, though, that no one cares.
Things keep going. It doesn’t matter. You’re okay with it and move on. It could also have a story that is worth telling. But only that. You can’t show a window a chit to get your money back.
Even though he seemed to be having a hard time, Fox never gave up on being positive and proudly said that he was “going nowhere.” The star said he would be officially retiring in 2021 because his health was getting worse.
“The depression is not so deep that I’m going to hurt myself,” he said. I always think, “Well, there are more good things in my life than bad things,” at this point.
The pain is very clear to see. You don’t have to put up with it. I’m also not going.
Whether it’s you or someone else, Michael J. Fox’s bravery in the face of such hardship always inspires me. He’s a great role model.
