Dear Barbara, I have been on the list before.I just started getting too much mail. Well I turned off the woodworking list and the Stone-Campbell list seems to be on vacation. So I thought I would find out what is happening in the world of PD. I was dx'd in 1988, Had symptoms since 1987. I am 54 yaers of age. I had a bilateral Pallidotomy in august of 1995. AS a result I have been able to keep working and I do a bit of woodworking in my home shop (single car garage) That keeps me busy. Oh, I was able to travel from Portland OR to Abilene, Tx last week for a Christian Scholars Conference with no problem at all. I managed to stay "on" most of the time. Prior to my PVP I would not have been able to take such a trip by myself. By way of introduction Im have a loving wife named Sue since 1963. She still puts up with me, even as a Parky. I have 5 grown Children and 5 beautiful grandchildren. I have two great Neuro's, Dr. Shiela Sund and DR. Stephen Gancher. I feel very blessed to have the kind of care I have been receiving Yours and His David L. Moreland [log in to unmask] http://www.teleport.com/~davelm
