Tired but Triumphant

anthonyjohnrobinson profile image

Today I'm tired, very tired, very very tired but I am smiling because it is the tiredness of the triumphant. My aching muscles are aching from my efforts not the Devil's Puppeteer's, for once I have him out smarted.

Yesterday we went for a walk, we being a group of young onset pwps and partners/friends. After previous walks it was my turn to do the planning and set the date unfortunately there were a few who could not make it both on the date and because of ill health. That left only seven of us, four pwp and two partners and one dog on a marvellous walk in and around the Cotswold village of Guiting Power. On a glorious sunny Cotswold day we set off on the four mile walk in the country and though this correspondent struggled a bit at the end, due to being unfit more than anything else, we all arrived back at the exact time I had booked the table for lunch at the Hollow Bottom pub. A very good lunch it was to.

To all the intrepid walkers I thank you for a wonderful day.

Don't give up hope. I thought I couldn't walk either until I got a coach, I was recruited actually, now I walk everywhere with a walker. Are you getting out for any PT? Good luck, shasha!

shasha, re coach, my neurologist started an exercise program at the local JCC (like a Y or fitness and culture center) . NIA, yoga, pilates, tai chi, etc. Before the Parkinson's walk last April I was recruited for a walking class which I was sure I could not do, even with walker . . Talk to your doctor about PT when appropriate and see if they can work out something with a local gym. There are PD classes, senior classes and free classes for cancer patients. I'm so determined to walk unassisted again OK maybe a cane.
