Just recently ( a couple of days ago) I rejoined and I'm very pleased to get news of those that I had lost touch.It was wonderful that Linda Herman will be receiving the Fishman award, as her contributions for advocacy have been tremendous. My only regret is that I will not be able to attend the Forum------and I miss the many wonderful people that I have met. Was also pleased to see Art Hirsch's postings, but sorry about Barbara Mulllet. Last year I certainly learned that PD is a progressive disease--was over medicated, hematoma, hospitalized, 3 pints of blood,etc. Next week I see a neurologist at Mayo's in Scottsdale about the possibility of a DBS. Perhaps someone on the list is familiar or had DBS surgery there.If so, would like any info . This could be done directly to me. Have lost e-mail addresses, so would love to hear from those I've lost touch with.(off line) Lorraine Jeffe ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
