Hi Ray and Nance...how are you both doing 1) with the scooter and 2) with your writing....I just read your posts and am not sure if you're talking about handwriting being difficult because it's PD small or because of tremors...if it's tremors I just came across this site that sells some kind of magnet based pen and board for people with tremors...cost is almost $60 for it but if it works it might be worth it... I don't know anything about the pen or the company.... and since I can't find the post can you tell me what you said about the caligraphy pen...have a great day...
