Hi all
Let me de-lurk for another brief moment. :-( On Mon, 1 Nov

I now understand, Tina. Again my apologies to you for any
negative feelings that you might have experienced as a result of
reading my post.

As I said in my original note, I hope your experience with Ar-
ing was better than mine. It sounds like it is and I'm glad to
hear it. U.C.'s Parkinson's/Pallidotomy center was featured on a
local newscast a year or so ago. A local retired lawyer was con-
sidering contacting Dr. Kavorkian until the center was able to
relieve many of his symptoms. I had assumed that Aring was some-
how involved but never looked into it as, when the need arises,
I have a preference for the deep-brain stimulation and my current
neurologist agrees.

I have heard similar rumors. But, I don't remember reading
anything similar in this forum. Other list-members, do you have
any input on this topic?

That's the spirit. And, so true. Besides the 'Net I try to
look into other resources as I travel around the country with my
job. And, in my own itsy-bitsy, tiny little way I try to help
others with some of my experiences that I have written about as a
PWP on my Web pages: A couple of people have contacted me and
thanked me for sharing:

As do *many* of the list-folk here. As I mentioned before,
there are a lot of jewels hidden among the many lines of text in
this forum. I don't read every digest "cover to cover," but I
have found much useful information.

Did I say I was going to try to be shorter in my notes and
quickly go back to lurk-mode?!? Sorry. :-)
Thanks for "cutting me some slack." I'll try to do better in
the future. Again, it's great to see another OneNet'ter here.
Take care and grok in fullness ... (heaven knows *I've* had trou-
ble doing that today :-/)
