Charlie, Thank you for your thoughtful, caring and compassionate comments for our friends, George and Juanita. I, too, am concerned about them and, if nothing more, wish I could put my arms through this PC to give them hugs and to let them know they are not alone. How strange that we are brought together by the fire of our destructive illnesses(PD/PD+, etc.) only to discover that from the ash comes the phoenix of friendship! There is hope for all of us!
