Mom and I appreciate your concern. We are lucky to have all of you support us.

Mom and I are still trying to come to grips with this, but at least for me it is no longer like a bad nightmare.

I have been walking about 3.5 to 5 miles 5-6 days/week. This does help my muscle stiffness.

Parkinson’s is still mostly affecting my left side. Some symptoms a little better and some a little worse. Overall, things are stable, and I am happy with that.

Started going to a gym just for Parkinson’s patients. We work on flexibility, and it includes boxing. Had my first session last week, and plan to go 3 times per week from now on; Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Also, went to a Michael J. Fox event last Saturday. A movement specialist neurologist from Vanderbilt spoke at the conference. She was very knowledgeable. I spoke to her after the conference and was able to have her take me on as a patient. I am very happy about this.

Not much other news.
