Kathrynne, Good Luck and have a wonderful time. You certainly will be in my thoughts and prayers on Saturday. I couldn't agree more that pd needs a greater awareness with the public. I wonder how many people on the list hadn't a clue what pd was until it was mentioned by their doctor as a possibility. I raise my hand to that one!
