    Yes, I use the Alexa devices. You can’t have just one. I have one in the bedroom, one in the kitchen and one in the living room. One is within earshot of the other so I changed the name so they both don’t activate. They have been helpful for turning on and off lights, getting the weather outside, spelling words for me, answering questions, setting timers, wake up alarms. They also pair with the ring doorbell so I know if someone comes to the door. If you have the video one you can use it in a myriad of useful ways.
    that’s just to name a few. I think they are a big help.

    I don’t know if this is of interest, but I went to a gym based exercise and stretching program put on by Indiana Parkinson foundation for many years until covid hit.  It was very good, lasted for 1.5 hours and only focused on pwp. (People with Parkinson’s). Very few participate in person now because of covid and the recent uptick  so they are getting  ready to put it on zoom. It is led by personal trainers and other qualified professionals trained to work with pwp.

    There is a cost and I don’t have the start date for the online class, but you could check with them if interested at

    you would need a computer or tablet to participate. Maybe there are similar programs up and running now available that someone could let us know about.
