so true,, Kathleen. I also think such stunts help promote the idea that PD is not so bad. People are often telling me how good I look and unless I'm screaming bloody murder or try to speak they think I’m "normal". yes, everyday is a challenge where getting from one room to another is a major problem. The Everest hikers must be in the first 5 years of PD and meds work. -----Original Message----- From: Kathleen Cochran Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2013 6:59 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: PWPs train for Mt. Everest base camp hike I'm with you, Ray! Nothing against the doctors' efforts, but I do find it a bit sad that most people respond best to these kinds of "heroes". It's ironic that to be a Parkinson's hero, you need to mount a display of superhuman strength, endurance, and athleticism. What about you, plugging away at your keyboard, trying to lasso your errant mouse? Or Amanda, gamely looking for work and finding herself, at age 56, unemployable? What about all of us for whom every day is a trek of Everest proportions? Kathleen On Wednesday, March 6, 2013, Rayilyn Brown wrote: > this, IMHO is nuts...exhausts me just thinking about it.
