I don’t know why, but I have a real ‘thing’ about people thinking my current use of a walking frame is because of my Parkies. It absolutely is not. Parkies has been very well behaved and I have had zero mobility issues because of it. The current use of the walker is simply because I have an issue with my spine causing excruciating pain in my legs and therefore I cannot stand for too long. Because of my concern that I don’t like being seen with the walker lest I should have to have a discussion about why I am using it, I actively avoid circumstances where I meet someone I knew from my previous workplace.

I am a retired Social Worker having retired in May 2024. I had been a Social Worker for over 20 years and for the sake of my health and wellbeing I chose to retire early. I have some literary projects underway and am enjoying the freedom of no longer working. Working on my projects at my own pace and enjoying my new hobby of lawn bowls is a wonderful thing. No regrets and a new kind of busy in retirement is wonderful. View more posts
