Good idea, Romona! I'll print out your message along with all others I've received for Carl, and hopefully when he reads it, he'll find your suggestion to be as excellent as I do.

Barb, I don't have much to add "medically" but how about suggesting that he install floodlights with the motion sensors ??? That way the light will go on if "there is" something out there" just for "piece of mind". I am just learning about PD and it's effects ... but I know alot about "fear" ...after I was the "hostage" in an armed robbery I live everyday fighting that constantly... so flood lights are very helpfull for me personally .... most times that they go off there is someone at the door (or an animal using my lawn as a bypass)and with the lights I am able to clearly see them ...and I know that when it's "dark" outside I'm safe. I hope this helps!!! Take care and best wishes from an Elf iN Tn...Romona Elf wife to Tony (my hero), and mom to Tori (age 9, nda), Zach (age 7, multichallenged), Cory (age5, multichallenged).
