Hi don and vivian, Thanks for both letters! Natalie and Deirdre and Janis have been keeping me going so all is OK at the moment. Am interviewing a young guy named Giulian today, so my advertisements in papers are working out-andall over town now word of mouth plus internet messages to find me an overnight CG. IyQ2 ^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 49/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 20 deg. F :-) ******************************************************************** Am copying this answer to you and viv to the List. They like my PWP true adventure stories. Sorry to be so quiet lately Mountains of snow and ice. Drove the Blazer yesterday to Shaw's nearby me to re-stock food supply with Natalie ,and shopped, then wore OFF in the cash register line. Had to sit somewhere, so took pills in the aisle....there was a park bench inside the store to use. Along came the manager got me some water I explained I had what MJFox has He said "Oh, Parkinson's?" and I said, "Young-onset Parkinson's" he thanked me for explaining was very nice. I was happy he KNEW it was PD-maybe the word is getting out slowly to the general public. I tried to ignore how different I looked and tried tosmile at people so they would communicate more positively. Meds kicked in after about 20 minutes-faster than usual. Maybe it's faster withthe Tasmar, i keep thinking. Then out into the frozen wasteland the temp had been varying between -7 and + 7 It was -55 in Allagash Maine on Thurday omigosh.... Natalie and I went to the local pub on way home it was almost too icy for ANYBODY to walk... for pizza and salad and coca-cola to wait out the storm a while. Got home then Janis and I shoveled and I chopped ice and sanded and salted have tons more work around here. I kept going for 30 more minutes. I keep forgettting I have PD-does that ever happen to you, Don? I came in to take 3:30 meds and that was it for the day. I had lost my pill container in the packed ice that froze over outside the gargae, gone til the spring thaw. Janis searched with flashlight and later I got up again to try the headlights-I had a SPARE pill container pre=-illed in the glove box saved my neck! ALWAYS have spare pills set up to avoid disaster is the moral there. Recovering today~~~~~pink and gold sunrise and lavender shadows on the snow. Deirdre making pancakes right now, with unprocessed wheat bran. I just discovered Swiss Kriss -works wonderfully to unblock you, if bran doesn't work in the morning. We just make a kind of tea and it works slowly overnight. Swiss Kriss consits of senna leaves and licorice, raspberry, strawberry and so forth-looks like you know what but it isn't. No foks, this is not an advertisement-just sharing my experiences. Ivan IYQ2 :-)
