SPARE TIME
RAMBLING ON, BUT WHAT ABOUT?
I COULD MENTION MY DBS STIMULATOR
FLAT BATTERY EPISODE OR MY BATTLE
WITH PNEUMONIA, OR MY INCREASING
ISSUES WITH MY LEGS.
NO I THINK NOT, NOW IS NOT THE TIME
TO MOAN AND LAMENT, NOW IS THE TIME
TO GO HARDER AT IT.
WHEN PARKS COMES HARD AT ME,
I GO HARD AT IT.
I HAVE CERTAINLY 'UPPED THE ANTI'.
I ATTEND TAI CHI CLASSES TWICE A WEEK
AND I PRACTICE IT EVERY DAY.
YOGA CLASS IS ON A FRIDAY AND I PLAY
BOWLS AT MY OVER FIFTIES CLUB ON
WEDNESDAYS.
I RIDE MY BIKE MOST DAYS AND I DO LOTS
OF WALKING AS WELL ATTENDING TO MY
GARDEN.
I ATTEND MY SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS AND
VOLUNTEER MYSELF FOR PARKINSON'S
RE SEARCH, AS WELL AS BEING A STUDY
SUBJECT FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS DOING
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY.
SO AS TO SPARE TIME, WHAT IS THAT.
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY FOR
ME. I WOULD NOT WANT IT ANY OTHER WAY REALLY.

I fully understand where you are coming from and this PD really sucks. You are very inspirational to me at the moment. I am not doing enough, I know that but my motivational level is very low at the moment. I do yoga twice a week and sometimes walk but I know this is not enough. Reading what others are going through and what they are doing to try to combat this \'thing\' does motivate me momentarily. I guess I am still new to the whole thing. But I will try get better at the exercise program. Says she whilst typing with shaking fingers.
