Hi Gina I really enjoy your letters. Jim is 65. He has been retired for 10 years. Has had 2 heart attacks. Thought we had that problem licked. Watched what we ate, had cholesterol down, weight under control. Then pd hit us like a ton of bricks. It took us 6 months to except the situation, & another 6 months before we told any of our friends. If it had not been for a support group we joined, I don't know if we could have make it. We have to drive 65 miles one way to get to it once a month, but well worth the trip. I have enjoyed the net because it's like a support group meeting every day. Sometimes good reports, some times someone is having a bad day. We all feel down in the dumps some times, & friends give us a helping hand. Thank goodness Jim was diagnosed early in the theme of things. Just a little tremor in left hand, a little slower in doing things. Starting to be a little stooped shouldered . We try to keep as active as we can. Like to go fishing quite often. Enough for now. Barb Rager & Gina keep those thought coming it helps us all. You & us. Love Betty & Jim Gina Cass. wrote: > Jim & Betty > Welcome to this PD list. It was nice to read about you and your husband. I'm > also glad to hear the article that you read.
