I realize that I need to hear of other peoples's pd. I tend to not look at what is unpleasant in order to feel as good as I can. PD has increased my faith in God. I get a lot of help from my faith. I won't go into details; but Prayer does help...and I will pray for your husband. If you could, would you tell me his name. I am retired. I was an Electrical Engineer 33 years for Gould Inc. My wife was a Nurse. We live in Irondale Al. God Bless you Both, Paul McCahan [log in to unmask]
