^^^^^^WARM GREETINGS FROM^^^^^^^^^^ Ivan Suzman 48/10 [log in to unmask] Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 26 deg. F *********************************************************** Dear friends, How my life is changing! It has been an inspiration and still is, as the videos slowly make their way out to you. 76 videos ordered - 11 today alone. I could never have dreamed of anything better happening to me. Further orders can be processed, because I am sure more can be made. At the same time, the assembly line needs a little breather!! This video star has been asked to head up the World Parkinson's Day effort in Maine, by the state's support group President, carepartner Carl Barker. Nancy and he are in Arizona and they have written me with that request, Tolcapone is coming out and I want to try it, since i'm back up to 1400 mg of levodopa and 335 mg of carbidopa per 24 hours. I don't get extended sleep, and average 12 hours "on," 6 "hours "off" and a total of 6 hours sleep per 24 hour day. My "offs" are too deep and tiring, and painful. PLEASE keep commenting on the videos. I feel that we ALL gain so much from public comments posted to the list. I want to thank so many of you. Yesterday morning, a computer crash occurred, and my Feb 10 to 20 messages disappeared from the screen. I guess they're in the hard drive somewhere. Please forgive me if I don't manage individual responses to each of you at this BUSY moment. Could Maryhelen Davila and Martha Rohrer re-send their long letters--I need them and want to reply ASAP. Dennis Greene, I am working on a plan to get PAL format donated so that the possibility of a much cheaper video can happen for Australia. Thanks again to each and everyone of you for your beautiful faith in me. Kees Paap,,,thank you for your dream, your poem for Muhammad and Lonnie Ali ( there's always a care-partner to remember) More tomorrow Thank you all again and thank God I have been blessed with the voice I still have. A closing thought--don't forget to fight for the full funding of the Udall bill. Please contact your Senators and Representativees and the President and ask for the $100 milllion to be assigned NOW. We musn't wait silently. Thanks everybody, Ivan Suzman 48/10
