Hello Joy and Bob, I`ll try to write something about what is important to me: ************ Since I became a pwp I live much more intens. I have made that choise NOT allow PD to control my life all the time, in spite of my sticks and wheelchair I still join the Music-Hall, the theather going by plane to e.g. Copenhagen to see friends or abroad for vacation. I think it`s very important to have a sympathetic attitude, because as long as I`m able to do all that I still feel that I still LIVE. Since I became a widdow 10 years ago, I have never had so many good and true friends as today. I have developed as a human being I accept my diseace. Today I`m pleased because I still are able to rise from my bed in the morning without help from another person, I still can drive my car, and even it`s very difficult I still can walk. All that I didn`t thaught about before i became PD, today I thank my God that I`m still able to do so. In spite of PD I have a rich life - and I enjoy it.
