Those of you who have been following me lately will have noticed – I am sure – that I talk a lot about playing bowls. It was my main rehab goal for both my knee surgery and my recent back surgery. Also, recently I wrote about my disastrous first singles competition in which I wasContinue reading “I’ve got my mojo back!”

Rehab realities…
As said in my last post, today was to be the first day that I have been on a green and bowling for at least a year. There were some surprises in store for me, that I wouldn’t necessarily expected – they were surprises after all – and I learned a few things about myself.Continue reading “Rehab realities…”
How do you ignore such a pest as Parkies?
From the moment I heard the fateful words proclaiming that I now had to share my life with Parkies, I thought it would take over my life. For my life to be that of a Parkies “sufferer” seemed the likely outcome. Then, something interesting happened. I suppose it could be the Social Worker in meContinue reading “How do you ignore such a pest as Parkies?”
Carrying on decluttering
I have spoken before about clearing out my house of things that I feel I no longer need. I have really been on a roll this past few weeks, clearing out and moving on without the excess baggage – in one case, quite literally – that I don’t need to keep. I am gradually movingContinue reading “Carrying on decluttering”
We all need somebody to lean on…
I think that I was destined to be a Social Worker. I have always wanted to nurture and support people, especially my children and my family. The need to be needed is a strong motivator for me. It is difficult for me to be on the receiving end, especially when I feel unable to reciprocateContinue reading “We all need somebody to lean on…”
Off to tropical climate…
After three years of coping firstly with the pain of a severely compromised arthritic knee that subsequently had to be replaced, to be closely followed by a back injury that also required surgery, it is time to move forward. In moving forward, this means that I can actually start to trust in my body again,Continue reading “Off to tropical climate…”
Sometimes being negative is a positive thing…
I was reading a post on a Facebook group that I follow and it has made me think. The person posting has obviously been struggling with this journey and expressing frustration perhaps because they have been reading all about how people are doing so well. People who say they are doing “PD Warrior” or otherContinue reading “Sometimes being negative is a positive thing…”
The wisdom of gazing into the future…
I have probably talked about this a bit previously in this Blog. As I have often said, I try not to think too much about the ‘end game’ or the future and what that might look like physically. Trying to remain in the present, in the ‘here and now’ isn’t always easy. There is thoughContinue reading “The wisdom of gazing into the future…”
If only life was like a game of bowls!
I have just had a lovely afternoon down at one of the local bowling clubs. It is not the club that I am joining, but is in our area. They hold open ‘roll-ups’ every Tuesday and every second Saturday. This is the second time I have gone to this other club and I must sayContinue reading “If only life was like a game of bowls!”
Terrible typo…
I was just re-reading my previous post about my checkup with the surgeon who operated on my knee. For some reason, I had put that I was recovering from ‘a significant car accident’. No idea where that came from, but it illustrates that I must be very careful in proof reading before I publish inContinue reading “Terrible typo…”
