Wasn't going to comment (would rather write about the pigs and read the medical and caregiver posts) At least the pig and Parkinsaw posts relax and amuse me and the medical ones inform) but frankly some of the recent postings are making me a little crazy, or at least crazier than usual. I DO NOT consider Parkinson's a gift. I consider Parkinson's a damned nuisance that is doing its best to ruin my life. Its taking away my looks, my independence, and maybe my life. I worry about it taking away my sanity. Please don't tell me that a disease that is making me a captive of my own body is something I should be grateful for. Maybe I'm still in the anger stage, call me un enlightened but...just don't call me grateful! Carole Hercun _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
