Thanks Art. I miss your smiling face at the Forum, no chance you can go again? This year it's much earlier, March, I think. Would love if you could be there. Brig's pain has been lessening as I mentioned before. I think the first fall, when he bounced down the steps on his coxis(I wasn't home) probably set this whole thing in motion. True, he has been falling more, but it is just like he sinks to the floor, not a forceful fall, or a violent fall. He freezes as well and then the shuffling steps come into play, that's why he doesn't go to the Forum any more. He froze in Union Station and ran the entire length because he couldn't stop, what a nightmare that was. You know how opinionated I can be, but I still think it is the PD causing the pain. Our neuro is recommending some kind of pain management. His bladder cancer came back and he just finished chemo for that, never a dull moment.......17 years of both. Take care.
