Dear Don,
it can be very difficult to find out how to talk with people about PD =
especially in the beginning. Today I know exactly with whom I can talk =
and tell how I am and what I=B4m feeling about this disease - when I =
need to talk about it - because sometimes I HAVE to.
Most of the time I`m feeling very well - and soon I`ll begin to play =
petanque, and i`m looking forward to start planting all the nice flowers =
in my boxes in the patio - Don you are a vice man - and the life is for =
me worth to live - even with PD.

My love to yuo and Vivian, and I hope soon seeing you on ICQ :-))
Sonia
