Today I walked

Yesterday the physical therapist had me walk about 150 feet while he walked along beside me for steadiness. Today I made the same walk and added about 30 feet. My knees were the limiting parts. I'll add about the same distance each day.
Every day I meditate twice a day to accelerate the healing process and to limit the advance of the Parkinsons disease. It seems to be working on both counts.
Today the weather is sunny and warm and great for the outdoors.
Russ Clifford has suggested that my engine problem could have been the result of vapor lock in the fuel line. I'll investigate that.

Hi Dick,
Sounds like you are making good progress. I bet it feels really good to be back in your own home.
Has there been studies on mediation affecting the progression of parkinsons? I ask because my 60 year old brother has had parkinsons for a few years now. He could use some healthy ways to help slow down the progression. It certainly would be good in general anyway.
Take care,
Maryanne

I only assume meditation will help the Parkinsons because thery're both dealing with the synapses. If you believe it will be so.
Always careful.
