Marling McReynolds had a PD day, so did I.=20

Marling was not "just fine", he was angry, why wouldn't he be? These =
things wear a bit thin after a while. I could have very easily send such =
a note to the list myself, when I saw it I thought I did and I have been =
following up on the ensuing discussion with some interest!?
My own experience with such encounters started five years ago after I =
suffered a stroke, I think that is when my PD started too, but it was =
not diagnosed then. After some slow recovery according to friends and =
acquaintances I was looking so wonderfully well I couldn't believe it =
myself, seems the more misery you feel the better your looks!  After all =
this time without any positive betterment to my health problems I must =
be exhibiting a marvellous picture of wellbeing, if only.
One thing I can recommend, with a slow recovery from stroke I was =
introduced to therapy in a hydropool, in time I graduated from that to =
aquarobics for seniors at the local gym and I have been able to keep =
that up. I can promise you, if you could get to that you would be =
feeling it doing you good and if only for that hour,and even you may be =
totally exhausted, you really "feel as fine" as every one says you look!
Two years ago I ended up with cancer, that didn't help much, but my look =
of wellbeing is still improving! I went on some months of chemotherapy =
and that's not fun, but I am not a small person and I was able to =
withstand massive doses of poisoning and I am pleased to report that =
according to my Oncologist we may have licked that problem. When that =
announcement came I renewed my membership at the gym!
We also decided to have a new dog again, but I am not as adventurous as =
some, this is not a puppy, an elder girl of nice disposition who is =
happy to come walk with me at my speed. My Neurologist has adjusted my =
Sinemet dose and doesn't want to see me for six month now, so no cure in =
that time? Meantime she has dispatched me of to see my Psychiatrist to =
help manage my depression. Apparently that is another thing that makes =
you "look good"!
I have rabbled on enough now, it's taken some time as you all know =
typing with a shaking hand isn't up to speed, and like with some other =
listmembers, English is not my first language, but one thing we do have, =
is time and I really wanted to express some sympathy to Marling. To all =
you American list friends I like to say I feel sorry for your President, =
he does not "look so good" on the box from here, but his problems seem =
self inflicted and he has to suffer that. As for Marlin McReynolds I =
would believe he is entitled to feel angry, I trust he has the manners =
and he will refrain from spitting on people. Cheerio !!
