Gerry: I don't know if you remember me. We met at the NIH Clinical Center a couple of years ago when Brig was my "roommate". You told me about this list and other PD-related activities. I helped you navigate the bedside computers and offered some advice on dealing with the Government's travel-expense reimbursement system. The fact that I remember this shows what a strong impression you made. We dealt with similar issues when my father entered a nursing home for Alzheimer's, though it's a lot harder for a spouse. Now, his younger sister, one of my favorite aunts, has recently entered one, and she will miss the engagement party this weekend for her grandson. Some advice: Monitor his care. The staff will respond better if they know somebody is watching. I am not being critical, but it's a fact of life. Also, don't feel guilty about taking the opportunity to enjoy life. You have certainly earned it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
