Don - It is always such a pleasure to hear from you. I almost fell out of the chair laughing about the gas situation. I don't even have PD, but when I pass gas at night, both my cats jump out of the bed and won't come back. My PWP can't smell either, but he's got the hearing of a fine tuned elephant. He says his "taster" isn't what it used to be, so I can feed him almost anything, and he thinks he enjoys it. He also has a problem typing on the keyboard and doesn't post as much as he used to. He has severe pain in his left wrist and hand. Do you ever have that kind of pain? I hope the last stages of PD don't change his personality. He's perfect the way he is. Best wishes, Jo Ann
