Subject: HUGS Date: Thu, 18 May 2000 09:56:42 -0600 From: Sylvia Berger <[log in to unmask]> To: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network <[log in to unmask]> I'm not sure if this is 'netiquette' if not - sorry - I'll take ten lashes with a wet noodle! But I wanted to send it to say 'thanks' for the many hours of entertainment and information you've all given me. You're all so open, up front and everybody seems to have it together - not like me who's rapidly falling apart as one thing after another is piling up. My son, who is is 38 going on 6 (he's mentally handicapped) had his second open heart surgery in Feb - a valve replacement. He's doing well but now we find that that my husband probably has age related macular degeneration and is terrified that he may lose his drivers licence (apart from the fear of going blind although everything I've gathered from Murrays web sites -they're useful for other things as well as PD - says this is unlikely to happen]Anyway here it is..................................a teddy bear hug for each of you!
