Parkie going balls out!

Who would have thought that playing with my balls, would have an impact on how I move,

Since January 14 th, when I started writing About My Parkinson’s, I have also purposely had one of my balls in my hands.

Throwing at least one them against the wall. Watching them bounce back to my body.

Or bouncing them off the floor and then catching them firmly in my hands.

I was fortunate to get two balls that fit the grip I was hoping to use.

My balls are big enough that when I hold them in the palm of my hand, my fingers must stretch out big and wide.

Much like Tom Hanks did in the movie, Castaway. I have named my balls.

Tom had his Wilson, I have my,

Hedi Smile and my Hedi Scowl !

My balls, once touched, trigger some sort of arousal in my brain.

This arousal never happened when I just used my stick.

Even if I twisted and pulled on my stick to make it longer, that extra length did nothing to improve my agility.

I was losing my confidence.

I sat alone in my garage one morning watching some of my home made videos that I filmed when I noticed something.

Homemade video after home made video, it became apparent that when I played with my balls , I moved easier.

So the other day , Sue and I were going to walk and get the mail.

I decided that I was going to ignore my stick and see if handling my balls would work better in

Keeping me more erect.

and if being more erect would improve my overall mobility!

I was a little nervous about what people would think.

After all I live in a small village.

What would the locals think.

After all Sue and I just moved into the village.

What would they say after seeing me walking about town with my balls either bouncing in front of me or tucked under my shoulder.

Needless to say we made it home safely and I am going to continue to experiment with my balls and the role they seem to have in lubricating my joints and providing me with a better range of pain free movement.

After all, as the saying goes,

Motion is lotion

Have fun and be a warrior
