Dear Marvin, Your loss of sleep is our gain - I love your messages, and never miss a one. From what I've read on this list, there are many wives who more deeply love their husbands now than before PD - myself included. I tell mine that, " A sick Jamie is better than a well anybody else). As for your book problem, there are book holders that can be found at any book story. I bought my husband one (the voracious reader) when he began to shake too much to hold a book - it works well. ----- Hope you can sleep tonight Mary Ann
