Yes I will get any and all boosters as they become available.
The leading causes of death for PD people are falls and pneumonia.

I have become a big fan of GeckoMan. These are solidly-made orthotic shoes in slip-on, lace-up, and slipper models, and they are very reasonably priced. I own several pairs in all forms. They help me maintain good posture, and they are great for my workouts and walking. Available on-line.

Absolutely! I have had three shots of the Moderna, and when more is called for, I will get it. I also get the seasonal flu shot, the “oldster” version.
Falls and pneumonia kill more PD patients than anything.

Yes, I bump into things, especially at night when I have to get up to relieve myself. I will frequently find some bruises, bumps and small cuts and wonder how I got them.
