The cause of the blast is being investigated. A survivor who describes herself as a "caretaker for a neurological patient" was said to have repeated one word over and over to the medical personnel attending her injuries: "fava". as they say in cyberspace ROTFLMHO! Thanks! I'm another of those lurkers who has a parent with PD. (Hi, y'all). Thanks in part to the exchanges in this message area, my father's dosage of Sinemet have been reduced, three of his medications have been completely eliminated and he knows who he is 95% of the time! Thanks to all of you for helping us realize that we don't have to sit there and take it! As the only family member with Internet access I have been faithfully sending the good stuff on to my Dad and my sisters (primary caregivers). I'm sure that sometime they would like to yank my phone wires, but.... Dad just loves the jokes! Thanks again, and all of you, please keep the advice and humor rolling. We lurkers are reading, even though we don't speak up so much. Manderwiz aka Joyce
