Yes, my husband, Bob, too leans - to the left. I always thought
that he leaned this way because his PD symptoms first began on his left
side. Do the PWP lean toward the side that is affected first? I assume
that is part of the problem with his balance too, when he is 'off'.
This reminds me of the joke sent by Jane Ross in December 1998. Sorry if
this appears insensitive - it is obviously not meant to be - but I just HAD
to make the connection:
A man took his elderly father to a nursing home to check it out. He sat his
father down on a sofa in the main aisleway and went to talk with the
administrators.
The old man started to tilt slowly toward the left. A doctor came by and
said, "Let me help you." The doctor piled several pillows on the left side
of the old man so he would stay upright.
The older man started to tilt slowly to the right. An orderly noticed and
put several more pillows on his right side to keep him upright.
The old man started to lean forward when a nurse came by and piled several
pillows in front of him. About this time, the son returned. "Well, Dad,
isn't this a nice place." The old man replied, "I guess it's okay, but they
won't let me fart."
Regards.
