Hi Trish... The "Hurrycane" was created by a member of my PD support group who was having a lot of freezing when she walked. Basically, it's a sturdy cane (Lisa makes 'em with colors and patterns on ;em if ya like that type of thing) with a little red-orange colored retractable "wand" near the bottom of the cane, When a Parkie freezes, they need merely glance at the wand and step over it to continue walking. It's rather amazing that such a simple thing works so well. Originally I posted the Hurrycane inventor's email address here on the List, however, I've heard from a List member that she was unable to get a reply from that email address. Sooooo.... IF ya wanna get in contact with the gal who invented the Hurrycane, following is her phone number: Lisa Greenstadt (818) 789-9612 Ohh.,.. and I have no financial interest in HurryCane Products, Inc.

This sounds rather interesting. I must have missed the original posting. Can anyone explain what a Hurrycane is? Trish
