hi all while it's nice to receive expressions of sympathy, about the potential dangers of PD "off"-ness and a fire alert i'm a tad surprised and dismayed to see such minimal response do the pd orgs address such safety issues for parkies? what do local fire departments do? what if i were blind, or permanently paralysed, or severely arthritic? do the disability agencies address safety issues? similar to the concept of providing grab bars in the bathtub? how do you deal with this issue? janet janet paterson, an akinetic rigid subtype parkie 53 now / 44 dx cd / 43 onset cd / 41 dx pd / 37 onset pd TEL: 613 256 8340 SMAIL: PO Box 171 Almonte Ontario K0A 1A0 Canada EMAIL: [log in to unmask] URL: http://www.geocities.com/janet313/
