Don you asked about embarassing moments. i share this with the list, cause we,George and I,can now laugh about it. A year or so ago George was not doing very wll. His PD seemed to be escalating at an alarming rate. His tremors were so bad he could sometimes not hold onto anything. His balance was so bad he ws falling sevral times a day. One late evening, George had gone into the bathroom to wash up for bedtime. Next I knew there was a large thump and George hollered for me to come to him. I had to try very hard not to bust a gut laughing once I realized nothing but his dignity was hurt. He was buck naked. He had fallen backward into the bathtub. Remember he was not trying to get into the tub. He had simply lost his balance. Fortunately I believe the shower curtain had broken his fall, it didn't even tear or come down. We tired, heand I , to extricate him from the tub. After 1/2 hr or so of struggleing decided we best call the fire fellows. Told them there was no injury, just needed their strong backs. All this time neither of us even thought to put a blanket over him.So as the firemen are gently lifting this 6ft 200+lbs man, they suggested I might want to cover his nakedness. As I say now it is funny. Of course at the time it was a trauma to both of us. This is for a couple of chuckles for all of us. Hugs Juanita CG for George 74/71/64
