Carole, I certainly meant no harm.... It was about 5:00Am here, couldn't sleep, waiting for my meds to kick in, reading e-mail and slopping my corn flakes with my morning tremor, and when I read Paul's post about his brother's recovery from crawling to operating machinery, it just blended with previous posts asking for funding so 1,000,000 PWP's could rejoin the work force and my feeble brain envisioned leagues of recovered parkies plantin' corn and soybeans... that's all. I grew up on a farm and spent many hours plantin' and sprayin' and harvesting and I really know first hand the desperation of poverty and farming. I apologize if anyone thought I was making fun of the farmers. I really was encouraged that a fellow PWP might make such a dramatic recovery. my apologies .......... murray > > --- Murray Charters <[log in to unmask]> > wrote: > > On 5 Oct 99 at 5:18, P&B Fahr wrote: > > > > > My brother had biSTN April 98. > > > > > > Before surgery he had to crawl around on his hands > > and > > > knees. > > > > > > Two weeks after surgery he was operating tractors > > and > > > other farm machinery planting corn and soybeans. > > > > > > Two months after surgery he was up on the house > > roof > > > doing carpenter work. > > > > > > If you asked him if he would do it again --- his > > answer > > > is YES. > > > > > > Except for the 30 minutes or so till meds kick in > > in the > > > morning you would be hardpressed to figure out he > > has an > > > advanced stage of PD. > > > > > > Paul > > > > > Thank you for sharing this encouraging news with us, > > this is just what I need > > to cheer me up as I slop my Corn Flakes. > > > > Imagine a million of us out plantin' corn and > > soybeans... why we could solve > > the world food shortages and bail out them > > farmers........ > > > > PD does affect the brain, doesn't it ........ murray > > [log in to unmask] > > > > > > ===== > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com > > [log in to unmask]
