Essie, just a few comments about Dance for PD.  Check out the website, sign up for e-newsletters, and watch the videos.    I first saw a video on tv, signed up for the newsletter b/c I was so impressed with adaptations of dance by professional ballet dancers to a movement disorder.    

If you watch the videos, you can see how chair exercise has been adapted for sitting or standing movements.  

Videos are also available for home use.

Hi Essie,
I feel for you and your husband. PD is an awful illness. I really don't have an answer for you, but if there is a place that offers the Rock Steady program, you might want to look into that. My husband participated in it until the Corona virus shut down the gyms. My husband too has PD. Well, let's just say it seems my husband being going down hill with being in hospital twice last year for UTI's and sepsis. Anyway, anytime you want to talk, feel free and shoot me a private message. God bless you.

Hi, Essie
We all (patients and caregivers) get mad or frustrated with PD now and then. The trick (and that’s a HUGE trick!) is to soldier on anyway, empower yourself with knowledge of PD, get to grips with whatever PD throws at you, adapt, overcome and get on with life.
Acceptance seems to be a daily activity instead of something you do at one point in time.
The ‘wolves’-metaphor comes to mind:
Indian grandfather to grandson: Inside me two wolves are fighting.
One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.

"The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
"This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf will win?"
The old chief simply replied: "The one you feed.
