Thanks for all that great information, Gary. I hope it all goes well for you. Speaking of dancing, our Rec Center in addition to Parkinsons Boxing also has Parkinsons Dancing. My husband attends the Boxing, not the dancing, but most of his fellow boxers do and they all enjoy it greatly. Perhaps it’s becoming more available in other areas. (We live in CO.)
Also, I wrote last year that my husband was having problems with curling toes which impacted his balance if he stood too long. His medication was increased but didn’t help and Botox was suggested. He has purchased Toe Separators which are helping so hopefully won’t need the Botox.
As always, I’m impressed with the generosity of this group in sharing information and dealing with this disease. Thanks.

Thank you for your post. My spouse went with me (his caregiver) to the YMCA in our city. He was awesome with his workouts. I tagged him to make sure the weights were correct. He boxed a few times ..but his balance issues stopped that. We went 3 times a week until the Pandemic arrived. It was centered on Parkinson's. We had great planned workouts and changes were made when needed. Some did well and some were further along. It really helped both of us. I actually said to my husband pretend you are hitting the Parkinsons when you box. He has had a really hard time since 2022. Parkinsons is the gift that keeps giving. He has other conditions as a result of Parkinsons. He has lost some mobility amongst other things. Everyday is either the same or more difficult. Perserverance is the only thing that keeps me going. Hugs to you both
