Now that I am recovering well from my latest operation – my back – I feel that it is time to get myself moving and focussing on getting healthier. I have put on a lot of weight because basically I have not been able to do much of any sort of exercise because of kneeContinue reading “Diet for health or Diet for weight loss? – Podcast”

Exercise – do what you can and what you enjoy
There are many different exercise programmes aimed at keeping those of us with Parkinson’s as fit and active as possible for as long as possible. However, for those of us with a complex presentation and a myriad of health issues, it can be somewhat challenging to find a good fit. For myself, with having hadContinue reading “Exercise – do what you can and what you enjoy”
Is it fate or is it destiny? Podcast
Whatever lead us to this path, whether it be fate or destiny, we can still learn from it and control aspects of that life. I have chosen to take from negative experiences in my life not to live with the negatives, but to celebrate the positives that have come to me as a result. ThisContinue reading “Is it fate or is it destiny? Podcast”
Going through a bit of a rough patch with my health
It has been a busy couple of weeks for myself and my husband, starting with five days in Queenstown and then shortly after returning home, a visit from my oldest brother and his wife for four days. It was wonderful to see them both and to show them our ‘new’ home that they haven’t visitedContinue reading “Going through a bit of a rough patch with my health”
Siblings
We have been fortunate this past week to have my oldest brother and my sister-in-law visiting from Melbourne, Australia. I am the youngest of four siblings and the only girl.

Today will be a better day
Since posting yesterday I have had a reasonable sleep and feel a bit better for it. Also, one of my long term followers talked a lot of sense in a comment about how I was doing a lot out of the ordinary and therefore it’s not surprising I have not been at my best. IContinue reading “Today will be a better day”
Having a bit of a day…

Things have been going well and this has been a trip that we had postponed from October last year due to my back issues. I brought my walking stick with me and also my walking poles in case IContinue reading “Having a bit of a day…”
A weighty problem…
I freely admit that I have put on a lot of weight in the last 2-3 years. A lot of it is because first I had a very painful knee and needed a knee replacement and then I no sooner recovered from that, and I had a new pain to contend with. This time theContinue reading “A weighty problem…”
Comorbidities Confusion
As I sit and write this particular post, I am aware that this is a topic that I have referred to previously. However, in starting this blog nearly five years ago now and with over 600 entries, I would be hard pressed to find a new topic every time. My husband and I often remarkContinue reading “Comorbidities Confusion”
