TO: Ron Murphy I know how hard it is to accept the fact that you have Parkinson's. It makes the present extremely difficult to deal with, and it puts a staggering number of question marks on your future. But the sooner you accept that it is a part of you, the better you will be able to adapt your limitations to your current lifestyle and begin to imagine a future for yourself. Stick with this group. Write whenever you're feeling low or discouraged. There are a great number of caring, compassionate and helpful Parkies here, ready to jump at a distress signal. Call on them for help. You will be glad you did. Stan Houston "The Writer from Texas" Cat Spring, TX 78933 [log in to unmask]
