Like always--reality is much different from what I imagine things will be. Went to my first RSB session this morning (got there without getting lost this time)--and I made it thru with positive aftereffects. There were ten us in the class--all men about my age or older and all of us have been diagnosed as having PD. Symptoms range from almost none--to really obvious tremors and motion problems.

The class was tough--but I did well for most of the activities. I surprised myself in a few events--I could do some tasks much better than I had anticipated. The biggest surprise--that I could do most everything with a lot of intensity and power.

I'll definitely be doing another RSB class this week--and will soon add a 3rd class to the schedule. It's a lot of time--but I believe that it will be worth the effort. A set of RSB classes will mesh well with dance classes--will prevent a "hole" in the regime like the one that happened last week.

I came home and slept for a few hours--I was tired but feeling mellow.

Dance class on Wednesday--perhaps? Up to the healing deities--if they fast track the recovery of the instructor's husband. Hope so--for everyone's sake.
