To Charlie, & other pwp's, The hard thing about a degenerative disease such as P.D. or M.S. is just that. Degenerative! I also mourn each progressive loss along the journey. Then after the mourning a spark of life comes back and I tell myself for every problem there is a solution, and begin the search. Just the decision to overcome the problem is a step to a more positive and happy outlook. Mary T. [log in to unmask] Regards Mary T. [log in to unmask]
