Yes. I am still here. I have been lurking while I finished writing my book. That is the amazing thing. I FINISHED my first novel, something I wanted to do all my life. 83,000 words. With PD. At the age of 54. Typing with 2 fingers. (Of course, I couldn't type before I got PD, either.) I have come to agreee with you that when one window of opportunity closes, another opens. I don't want to sound too Pollyanna this morning, BUT, if I hadn't gotten Parkinson's, I would not have become computer literate as a means of accessing medical information. Which means, I would never have joined the List. Which means I would never have witnessed the accomplishments of my fellow PWP's. Which means, well, you get the picture. PD has made me tougher and braver. It has been the difference between sticking one toe in to test the waters and just plunging in. Now, I only hope the water is not too cold...
