Exercise – My journey with Parkinsons

So tired, so very tired…

It’s been a busy time on holiday in the UK. I have said more than once that I will need a holiday after this holiday! We are packing in lots of adventures, both big and small and I am finding that I am really tired, really quickly it seems. I have worried out loud toContinue reading “So tired, so very tired…”

Time for a check in…

We have been staying in Goathland a beautiful village in the beautiful North Yorkshire Moors. We arrived here on Sunday 4 June and we leave on Sunday 11 June to go visit friends for a few days. Unfortunately, we started our week in the Yorkshire Moors with a car crash. Luckily I was the onlyContinue reading “Time for a check in…”

On the train again…

Farewell to the Scottish Highlands as we sit on the train to Glasgow from Fort William. From there we catch a train to Edinburgh and another change or two before we get back to the farm in Leicester. The weather in Scotland the last few days has been amazing, blue skies with not a cloudContinue reading “On the train again…”

Keep on trying… Don’t give up!

I was reading a post on the Facebook page for people with Parkinson’s. They were talking about how those of us with Parkies sometimes give up things we enjoy due to our condition. Perhaps sometimes I wonder if it is fear of failure or losing face in front of others? She went on to talkContinue reading “Keep on trying… Don’t give up!”

Time to rest before the next adventure…

Right now I am sitting in my sister-in-law’s lounge resting up after a busy week boating. It’s lovely to be back with family and telling them all about our adventures. While I was on the boat I was able to do everything I needed to do and my knee coped very well. Off the boatContinue reading “Time to rest before the next adventure…”

A stile with style…

So today we went to see my sister in-law’s farm in Derbyshire. It is set in lovely English countryside. We decided to go for a bit of a walk around the farm as it’s the first time we had been there. As stated in previous posts I have had a lot of trouble with myContinue reading “A stile with style…”

Taking Parkies on holiday…

It seems like a long time ago we started planning a trip to the UK to see family and friends. On 3 May 2023, after a few days in Singapore, we landed in England for a nine week holiday. This is the first time we have been to the UK since my diagnosis. Not onlyContinue reading “Taking Parkies on holiday…”

A Baker’s cyst…

I have had enough of myself at the moment! My right leg is causing me constant pain and restricting my ability to walk. Just walking around the house is painful and almost beyond me right now, let alone trying to even think of going to the gym. It’s alright for my Physio or Doctor –Continue reading “A Baker’s cyst…”

I am so over being in pain…

I wish there was someone I could complain to and get a refund on my body!! Like when you purchase an item from a store and it is faulty. Take that thing back and get your money back! Right now, I’m feeling my body is not fit for purpose. Legs are for walking on surely?Continue reading “I am so over being in pain…”
