Positive mindset with good vibes
I am 73 and diagnosed with PD 5 years ago. I enjoy gardening, music, Indian dancing, hydrotherapy and walking football/soccer. What I like most is the walking soccer. It’s a way of maintaining good body balance. The interaction amongst multicultural community is something I enjoy. Hydrotherapy is equally good but it can be boring as people there either stare at you or ignore you. Better to go as a group so that it can become a fun activity. I don’t spend too much time talking about PD but enjoy each day as it dawns. I Start my day with prayers and continue listening to worship songs and other good music too. I wear hearing aide with Bluetooth connected to my mobile which I consider is a big asset for me. I am in group chats on whatsapp which is another avenue to keep myself and my husband busy. Reaching out should be two way but if you keep talking about your health situation every time you can put off your callers. The activities I do helps me and I help my husband who has got PD too. Sadly he has limited leg movement due to an ankle operation. So I take him for hydrotherapy. He does other exercises at home. He sings in a church choir which is another good exercise for the throat muscles. My husband sings along with music played on google assist. This equipment is about $100 but worth the money. Once its setup with wifi it’s like a companion at home. You don’t need to press any button. Just mention the name of a singer or a song, it will play for you. You can even ask for recipes for cooking 🤪. So my strong advice is to stay positive and keep soldiering on as long as you can. The rest is in God’s hands.🙏
