Barbara, A good friend, Mark Newland, is using my computer regularly and has recently signed on to your terrific list. Yesterday, I helped him post his first note. We sent it to the same address we're sending this one. When he checked today, he'd received many postings, but didn't see his. Did we make a mistake in how we sent it? If it's of any help, the text follows: Subject: A practical question Some advice, please. I'm new to the list and new to PD as well. As a 58 year old health professional, I have determined with fair certainty that I have early stage Parkinson's, This has been confirmed by knowledgeable friends. Before going to my physician (then neurologist, etc.), and having the diagnosis irrevocably set down in my records, I want to put in order as much as I can. I've already taken care of a will, life insurance, health insurance, and a long term care policy. Do any of you have other suggestions? That is to say, if you had it to do over, what would you have organized for yourself and your family before the diagnosis. Thanks very much for your input. Mark [log in to unmask]
