Dee, My name is Paula. I am 48, 11 years with PD, and had DBS 10/30/00. I know what you mean. I used to run my own restaurant (seating 180 people) with nearly 100 people on the payroll. Now I think instead of tunnel vision, I have tunnel brain. I put water on for tea one day and answered the phone, totally forgetting the water on the stove, resulting in a steamy kitchen and needing to buy a new tea kettle. I often can't carry things in my right hand if I have something in my left hand and am trying to get somewhere with these "things". It's a crazy disease.
