To Whomever: With the joy(?) of Christmas upon us I hope it can be. My one son is out on his own doing computers. I'm happy for him it worked out all for the best. Anyhow Both parents are gone so all I have is me, husband, and 2 dogs. Sinimet has worn off. If you fall, shaking gets worst. My total hysterectomy did me in now I treat PD like a stroke and work my way back to somewhat funct- ioning. I am 49, and just signed retirement papers of which I know are okay for him and I think for me. I also have neighbors who sort of ignore you. I also have no way to get around etc. So I await a reply on what I can do. I do not want any more surgery. Twenty yrs. of marriage and I get it now at retirement. Looking for a response. I BASCIALLY have no where to go and if I did I would have no money. Peace & best wishes, Sue & Al Michael [log in to unmask]
