Hello Malysa, Welcome! It is really encouraging to meet you. Your interest in PWP is very much appreciated. PD is a very complicated, idiosyncratic condition and you are so right in focusing on the emotional as well as the physical effects. You will hear a lot about all aspects of the disease on this list. I hope it will be helpful to you as you start your career. I'm sure we will learn from you as well. Please keep us posted on how your high-spirited grandpa is doing and on your experiences on the job. Good luck with your exam! Regards, Kathleen P.S. Boring? Long-winded? Certainly not!! :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
