Don, I can't tell you how sorry I am that you are going through so many struggles. Wish I could make it better for you and your loving wife Vivian. I'm one of those rookies you spoke--only diagnosed 4 mo. ago and already taking about 40 pills a day! The way I handle it is to try to just get through one day at a time. I also try to find humor in it whenever possible. An example: there is a country song called "What Really Turns Me On Is The Shake". I think it should become the PD anthem! You have a lot of people who love you in your family, your community, your support group, your church and certainly on this list. I have a good feeling that they, like me are doing a little bit of talking to the "Big Guy in the Sky" for you! Your messages are just fine. I think most of us can make them out pretty easily. You have become a real inspiration to me. You've gone through so much. You're like a Timex watch...You can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. Let us know how you are doing, All my best to you, Vivian and your "babies" Claudia Goldberg donald mckinley wrote: > what i mean by it. is it will be like they just found out i got pd. start > out on all new meds. doseages so forth. i don't know if i can handel it. a > new pd have to exsect it. denials of haven pd. lot on list have that feeling > it took me about 4yrs to except it that is i got pd. my nero says it hapen a > lot after a number of years. but now? how do you rookies do it? ww2 term i > should of known art hirsh would never do any thing to upset me. in 10 days > we will see. vivian at my side i know i will make it oh she has to take 3 > stress test at the hosp. and today a doc from toledo ohio is bring some > portal equpent to check me out. some of words i know are speld wrong hope > you can make out what i mean. art when i am my self again you can help me > with eudora. not now as i just can,t think good. the list has been good to > me. just wish i doing as much in helping others. this pd is a killer. > ken,camilla,art,judith,neonma(demark)barb,janet, i could go on > > [log in to unmask] > 73/26 lima,oh > > I.Y.Q.
