I am new to the network and would like to introduce myself. I am a retired professor and am a caregiver for my husband who has had Parkinson's Disease for the past 8 years--at least that is the length of time since he was diagnosed. It is a 24 hour job and I am glad to have someone (plural) to "converse" with. Last year we went to Mayo in Rochester, Mn, to see if he would be a candidate for a Pallidotamy surgery and the answer was negative. He does not have tremors or tic, but does have the "frozen feet". I would like to "talk" to another caregiver. Thanks for the help. Vesta
