Ida, I am pleased to hear from Holland ; it sounds like next door ! Thank you for your input about multi-PD families, it is very clear, no "abracadabra" (I thought this was a French word, looked into my on-line dictionary and discovered it is the same in English, German, Spanish, you name it). I will always be interested by more, if any. With my mother and my late grand-mother as PD patients, I am carefully watching the "sons and daughters" touchy problem you and Janice LONG raised in previous notes. I have 5 children (from 37 to 13) and I hope, I do hope we all have a good communication level. Yesterday, I interviewed 3 of them about their reactions to my PD. They all accepted to write a few lines. If they really do it, I will post their standpoint without changing a word, except for Thomas (13) whose comments would be translated into English. Would you mind giving me your E-mail ID ? Thanks in advance Friendly yours Bernard JOLY [log in to unmask]
