Yoga was recommended and it was a big help. I took private lessons for awhile since I could not function in a regular class even with other beginners. The private lessons became too expensive and I did not continue but am sure it is worth what you can afford even for a few lessons.

I can't look at anything above my head.

You need to find a yogi who understands your limits. I hope it works out.

Also Tai Chi for arthritis taught by Paul Lam on YouTube is worth your time. It is slow and easy. My Tai Chi instructor was certified in his method. She rehabbed after a stroke with Tai Chi. I think either is worth looking into.

If it were not for idiots extended this pandemic, it might be better.

I hope you can find something soon.

Please let me know.

This one's for you, through kitchen window:

P.S. Balance issues with hydrocephalus, and 'taste' issues due to ??? Nothing tastes as it did in the past.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through.

Don't know if any of it would help you, but who knows. I've had balance problems for more than 35 years, not from chemo thank heaven. Things like more supportive shoes and physical therapy help some people.

Ginger tea and ginger capsules can help with dizziness and nausea some times.

Good luck and I hope you feel better.

But a cane is for old people and he was only 82.

I bought him a telescoping mountain stick with a compass on the knob from REI.

I ended up receiving the longest letter he'd ever written. Longer than he ever wrote to my Aunt. It was almost a family scandal.

The stick saved him from breaking his hip and kept him moving until he had to go with the wheeled walker.

You're right though - alfredo needs a special walking/mountain stick to take with him on his photography rounds.

For photography I have an aluminum cane from the VA. It has a lanyard, so I use that for photography. I have a yellow wood walking stick.

Another handmade in Georgia.

I have been doing yoga classes for years and can attest to the fact that my balance has improved. If you have a senior center near you, many of them offer classes, though they may not be fully open yet. I have also done classes through Amazon Prime video (free classes). I would also suggest strength training for seniors, which generally use bands and light weights but also focus on a balance element. And, finally, as you gain energy, just walk, even if it’s only a few minutes a day for awhile.

I’m glad you’re able to enjoy food again. That will help get you back to normal! Take care.

My mother at age 62 was having cardiac symptoms which sounded exactly like angina. A much more primitive diagnostic procedure than we have today, demonstrated that her coronary arteries were clear, and the doctor then at Hahnemann hospital, which is now defunct, informed her that she had a condition which had not been quantified at the time and this involved her capillaries and smaller vessels. He termed it Small Vessel Disease and treated her with a cocktail of meds. When she would attend another physician or an emergency room virtually none of the physicians had heard of this and we’re very skeptical. Meanwhile she lived 26 years longer than the other doctors thought she would and fooled everyone, living longer than many of the physicians which is that rich irony.

I wish you nothing but the best for a long and healthy life.

"Game Changers" and "Forks over Knives" are good documentaries.

Dr. Greger has some good information as well. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/flashback-friday-from-table-to-able-combating-disabling-diseases-with-food/

Be well.
