>Struggling every day with PD changed my whole attitude on life for the better. Pam, this is one of the points of true irony in living with PD. I appreciate the million small things, as well as the major assets I have, my wife, fam, and remaining productive years much more. I caught a 36in. muskellunge (large fresh-water fish) in November, and boy, did I relish that. Not the fish. Threw him back. But the experience. Nothing like a taste of disability to give you perspective, eh? We're going to have to find some creative tactics to work around our increasing difficulties. Wasn't it Frank Zappa who said 'Necessity is the Mothers of Invention?' ;-) Enjoy the holidays!
