So many people with Parkinson’s are witty and on the move! And I don’t mean movement disorder!
Click here for a fun and inspiring New York Times article written by a 75-year-old man with PD who takes swimming lessons for the first time in his life.
Here’s the opening paragraph to get you started:
If you like stories about courageous people with terrible handicaps who surmount insurmountable odds to attain a glorious triumph and then run around high-fiving everyone and shrieking “whoo” while stirring music plays in the background, this isn’t the one for you. But I did learn to swim at age 75. That’s worth something, no? Maybe a seal clapping ironically?
I loved the article about learning to swim!! When I move at the end of next year, there will be a pool right behind my apartment building. I’m looking forward to swimming again. 🙂
