It was March of 2012, and Betsy Mathies' doctor
had just given her the diagnosis she'd feared:
Parkinson's disease. First, the tears started, she
says. And then: "I remember I said, 'Oh shoot!' and

than that, and I said, 'I'd like to start, but I
might not be able to stop — it would be
F-bomb city.'"
