Just a quick note of mention before I head away to the country to join Moira for a couple of days in case some might miss it...., namely, the Globe & Mail (Toronto) has a major opinion piece by a Parkinsonian, William Harshaw, about his two pallidotomies -- one side in 1993 and the second side in late 1994. The article is headed: "Reprieve from Parkinson's". It may be that somneone else will have time to post it or summarize it before I return, but I do plan to make some comments to the List about Bill's article and an update on Moira's own surgery at Loma Linda in May and how she is doing. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. TTFN Peter ========================================= Peter J.
