Dear Barbara, Thank you for your welcome to the PARKINSN list. By way of introduction, I am age 68 and the care giver for my wife, Audrey age 65, who has had PD for 11 years and is now in the 4th stage. We live in Wingham which is located in Huron County, Ontario. Audrey's neurologist is located at University Hospital in London, Ontario where Audrey had her first pallidotomy in Jan 1997. I am looking to the PARKINSN list as a source of information as we do not have a PD chapter in our area. Bob Ritter, Wingham, Ontario [log in to unmask]
