Being proactive

In my May 28th post I mentioned that I ordered a stylish Helmet/hat.

I wore the helmet hat to two graduations. Then, when I was going into the hospital to check on a sister I minister to, having received a message that she had fallen and was being admitted to the hospital, I didn’t think to wear the helmet.

As I was going toward the front entrance I stubbed my toe on a rise in the cement, and scared a lot of people, including myself. But the Lord blessed me, because I was enabled to regain my balance with some fast foot work. I’m sure it wasn’t a pretty dance, because several people asked me if I was alright.

As I was falling forward, I thought, “I’m going to faceplant on the cement and I should have w0rn my helmet!” Thankfully disaster was averted. As I have been consuming the New Eden twice a day, I have noticed when I am walking about, my arms have begun to swing, like a non-Parkinsonian’s arms would swing . Whereas, with typical Parkinson’s symptom, previously my arms had hung down at my sides when I walked with no swing at all. I have to assume it has also been enabling me to move my feet faster, thus righting my error.
