TO George M. Andes and his essay on The Insider As you so eloquently state, we are different on the inside physically, socially and emotionally. This changes us on the outside. I can look at PD as a blessing for the many positive changes it has caused in my life, the wonderful people I have met on this listservice and other places and for slowing me down to stop and smell the roses. Parkinson s disease is not the blessing, it is what has changed because of it that can be counted as a blessing. If there were another way to do it, I would be on the higher path. Thanks George for your wonderful story. It is important how we communicate why we are the way we are. Blaming everything on PD is unfair to PD. That was the way I felt in the past. Today, I feel totally justified simply stating, Parkinson s caused that. I will let others decide if a more comprehensive answer is requested.
