No I don’t worry about the virus.. I just wear my mask, although I hate it, keep my distance and go about my business. I have grocery shopped , clohes shopped and just walked around looking at things. My ponly physical issue is my PD ., so I guess I’m pretty fortunate. I have also restarted my Rsb class and we have in person support groups”.

I can usually get in pretty easily(just have to lift the left leg ) but it’s downhill from there… it takes me forever to reach my seatbelt and then once I’ve gotten it, it takes me another forever to find the darn hole to put it in .
