The first luncheon took place on that date, Saturday September 28 at the Cotant Park picnic shelter in the northwest corner of the park. It was raining that day but the participants stayed dry under the shelter as there was no wind. We had a good attendance in-spite of the weather. It was decided that we would hold the luncheons each month on the second Saturday. We will tentatively hold them at the Pocatello Senior Citizens Center.Spencer Stuckihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17692578566657925783noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144433496085142522.post-56368951504626090032019-09-09T14:12:00.002-07:002019-09-09T14:12:46.088-07:00Monthly Meeting September 9, 2019We had a presentation today presenting the activities of our support group now and coming up.<br />

<br />
We had a very good class today with the three regulars in attendance, Dean, Kris, and Spencer. Susan Bringhurst visited the class to check us out on the types of exercise we do. She could help us develop additional exercise routines for the future.Spencer Stuckihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17692578566657925783noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144433496085142522.post-86139210197166779522019-06-12T02:52:00.001-07:002019-06-12T02:52:43.533-07:00June 11 Move and Shout classThe class was held today with two new people, one of them from MonteVista Healthcare Center.

The only ones who came were regular dancers from Steve Sullivan's group. However there was one Parkinson's person, two with Essential Tremors, and one other dancer with physical limitations. There were enough regular dancers who came to assist with the dancing that we were able to do regular squares. More will come in future weeks as the word gets out, I'm sure as they have been asking about the location etc.Spencer Stuckihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17692578566657925783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144433496085142522.post-81761183928457241352019-06-12T02:40:00.001-07:002019-06-12T02:40:09.438-07:00June 4 Move and Shout classWe started our Move and Shout class today using the CD. Dean Hazen and I were the only ones there but we both enjoyed the class and felt it was a good and beneficial exercise class. We planned to continue the class with a possible rotation of the CD classes. The Power for Parkinson's group also has many classes on U-tube.

He had a handout that he gave us rather than a slide show presentation. It contained much good information about the medications and their uses in treatment. This meeting again was well attended with some new people as well.Spencer Stuckihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17692578566657925783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144433496085142522.post-71245923610818858742019-06-12T02:17:00.001-07:002019-06-12T02:17:46.736-07:00June 3 extra presentation Patrick Nicholson MDAs Dr. Nicholson wasn't able to meet with us at our regular time, we held this extra meeting at 7:00 pm on Monday June 3. He gave an excellent presentation on Parkinson's and other movement disorders. There were many questions and we ended up staying after the regular meeting time. We had good attendance and everyone seemed to enjoy the presentation. A precursor to a start of some exciting happenings with our group with the launch of two exercise classes.Spencer Stuckihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17692578566657925783noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3144433496085142522.post-39189931015385555942019-06-12T02:09:00.002-07:002019-06-12T02:09:54.104-07:00May 13 Monthly Meeting Kathy Olson, RNWe had an excellent meeting with Kath Olson today, everyone seemed to enjoy the activities and participated. She gave us information on Yoga as a benefit for Parkinson's patients. As she had reviewed the Move and Shout exercise material for me previously she conducted the exercises we did today like Move and Shout. As stated before everyone who was there participated and seemed to really enjoy the activity. We had a good number of people in attendance. It was a good meeting.Spencer Stuckihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17692578566657925783noreply@blogger.com0
