How right you are Gerry. My dad "retired" at 66 and finally quit working at a wage paying job when almost 78. He died at 83. I thought I would have that opportunity, too. Now here I am at 49 unable to work an 8 hour day and unable to support myself. 49 is too young to be like this. 46 was too young to be told that I have a progressive disorder like PD. And, I will always wonder if the doctors had diagnosed this thing at 40 or before when symptoms started, maybe it could have been slowed down. Maybe if doctors had not been quick to say,"you are too young for PD".Maybe,but that is not what happened, and here I am about to take another rest time because I cannot work for more than 30 minutes without wearing myself out. Ok, get off my soapbox and get on with life. I know there is a life out there, even if it is in 30 minute segments. Maybe that is it!! Maybe PD has made my life into a sitcom where everything happens in 30 minute segments. Maybe, if it is like "Father Knows Best" all my problems will also be solved in the next 30 minutes. Yeah---great idea, maybe we need to create the PD sitcom. Any volunteers?? don't forget how to laugh (and do it often) Marling McReynolds 49/3 [log in to unmask] http://members.tripod.com/~marling
