Dear Marvin,
I hope that this will be a word of comfort to you and to many
PD'ers out there.
I've been a medical nurse for alot of years (trust me on this).
Although we have received many patients on our clinical division
specifically for placement in nursing homes, we seldom deal with PD
patients.
M.S. is an entirely different disease from the one you have, and
it is altogether possible that you will become totally debilitated from
some other disease before you are disabled by P.D.

Peace and joy
