A setback

There are setback and then there are setbacks. Five days ago, when in the process of proactively addressing my PD with exercise -- exercise which by the way was earlier in the week announced to have been proven to slow the progression of PD-- I tripped on a loop of cord  that was loose on the side of a boxing ring, fell backward, hit my back on the metal pole that was behind me and broke a rib. All I can say is ... bummer! Oh, and tomorrow is a new day.

My rehab instructor has been most helpful, assuring me that if anyone can bounce back from an injury with no long-term effects, it is I. Let us hope he is correct.
