I join the others in saying very very happy birthday. I also say a big "Thank you". Like you, I am 75 and have had a brain tumour, plus Parkinson's for eleven years. During the night, I woke with a big black dog on my shoulder.
This morning, I woke to beautiful sunshine and your inspiring blog. Thank you..
A very happy belated birthday to you

When my big, awkward, heavy golden retriever jumps on my bed at night when I'm twisting, turning, or maybe acting a dream out, or talking in my sleep, and snuggles up and gives me kisses to feel better and shows me her unconditional love, life is good.(hubby sound asleep) Happens almost every night.
Belated Happy Birthday wishes to you. I think exercise is important and always try to find good things in my day. It might be just our neighbourhood blackbird's song, or unusually here, a sunny day. To hear my grandaughters laughter or an unexpected call from a friend. Occasionally, being able to do something I couldn't manage the previous day. I have many things to be thankful for. On bad days I always try to think that things may be better tomorrow. Your PMA is an inspiration.
Sallyru1u, Happy Belated Birthday! Thank you for your inspiring blog! You are an amazingly, strong woman. I want to be like you!
Thanks for starting my day out on a positive note.

Happy belated birthday! God bless you, you've been through a lot. You have a wonderful attitude. Have a blesses day.
GOod for you. Can't you start a support group from the exercise class. I'm sure there's at least 3 of you who need to talk about stuff. Is there a social worker at the Y? Good luck to you. I'm in classes with pwp's and we form a kind of support group, plus there is a support group but I'm not in it. Also one for caregivers.
Happy belated 75th birthday. You are an inspiration to everyone.
I am a great believer, if you don't use it you'll lose it.
Some "healthy" people could do with an hour in your company. They wouldn't moan everytime they feel "off colour".
Happy belated birthday! You inspire me. Hope you find a support group.
Sending you best wishes! Happy belated birthday!
thanks everyone for the birthday wishes and support. Love you all. Will try to keep you all up to date. God Bless each of you
