Hi Bill: I can only hope it wasn't a chunk of falling sky that caused that head injury. Can contribute neither falls, broken bones, head injuries, or a MVA to the genesis of my PD. Exposure to carbon monoxide as an infant, but that is supposed to be a different mechanism, and perhaps a different form of PD. Carole H. --- "William A.
