Thanks for all of that great information. I'm glad that you are so proactive about your health and well-being and that you have such great support from your spouse. You are fortunate in many ways in spite of your many diagnoses.

Congratulations on your weight loss and ability to adjust your diet to help your kidney problems. That was quite an accomplishment!

Have you ever participate in Connect's kidney discussions?

Here is the link, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/kidney-conditions/, The members there will undoubtedly be helped by your posts as well.

I hope you continue to post in the PD group as well. We all need inspiration from someone who is proactive in managing PD.

Thank you very much! I do feel very lucky and fortunate. That is why I am willing to share as much as I can with everyone as I can. PD may be tough but there is MO NEED TO GIVE IN TO IT! If I keep doing what I’m doing I’m only hoping that I can prolong the inevitability and that’s ok. Look at Alan Alda he’s in his 80’s still playing tennis and running and not letting PD get him down. I want that to be me! Right now my balance is off so what am working on??? I’m working on my stability on the workout balls! I WILL because I have the determination be able to do a sobriety test if I ever drank, lol! I have a very positive outlook and I WILL NOT GIVE UP! So if my story inspires just one person then I have done my job! Believe me at 57 I never imagined myself having to walk with a cane or a rollator. But I’ll make you a bet by December I WILL HAVE THE WORKOUT BALL MASTERED AND I WILL HANG UP THE ROLLATOR FOR A FEW YEARS! That is my goal. When I set a goal I usually get it done earlier then planned! As an example I spent 4 hours at the gym. 2 hours on the workout ball. Then I came home and did another 2 hours on that ball. I am damn determined to get rid of that rollator. When I use it I feel I'm 77 instead of 57.
I will check out the link you sent. Thank you for the kind words. Keep your chin up, lol as every PD is supposed too, lol!
