Janet and Don, I am glad you have gotten to a place where you can view the PD diagnosis as a "gift". I have not. In fact, Don, this is one of the hopes you give me in that if you could eventually come to this point, then maybe I can too. I know from family history research I have a long life to live. I had hoped that more of it would be as a physically fit person. Now I must adapt to many and growing limitations. And I do not want to adapt to it! However, I have a son who reminds me to laugh every day and this keeps me going. don't forget how to laugh (and do it often) Marling McReynolds [log in to unmask]
