Deanne..... (No comment 'bout the first paragraph 'cause I'm chicken) <giggle> Just a note, Deanne, that IF your Dad has any other PD-related speech problem other than a loss of elasticity of the vocal cords, the collagen injections will not be of any help for those other problems. There have been outstanding results - tho not permanent (additional injections are periodically called for) - with the "restoration" (MY term, not one put forth by the MD or by UCLA) of the vocal cords, tho.

It may be udderly ridiculous, but I think she cud at least ruminate on it a bit more. (Barbara, best wishes and am avidly awaiting more updates. My dad sounds like the announcement of death when he answers the telephone, although he is painfully punny and otherwise lively.) Deanne Charlton [log in to unmask]
