Jack Peckenpaugh, You raise an important and difficult question about PD (or any other chronic condition): Whom to tell? >From what I understand of your present condition, your family must already know that "something is wrong with Dad." In the absence of fact, they will imagine fiction. Who knows what? They may be very worried right now. Hard as it may be for you to tell them, it is probably harder for them to ask you. Your PD is not yours alone. Every member of your family has it also. In any event, it is right for them to want to worry about you; it is also right for them to actually worry about you. Further, it is right for you to not want to worry them; it is also right and better for you to tell them the facts as they are. Accept their caring and worry as their love for you. PD is isolating. PD is a prison, a prison where the only one with the key is the prisoner and the only keyhole is on the inside of the cell. I'm just preaching to myself. George Andes 62/14 & still counting
