Good pointers, Don. As to taking some ribbing, yesterday at the mall I was
having trouble getting my credit card out of the plastic sleeve to pay the
clerk and a lady was wwaiting behind me so I explained, "I have Parkinson's
so please bear with me as when I'm tired my hand sometimes shakes like
this." The lady behind me said, "My mom has Parkinson's and we just ask
her to please mix things for us as she shakes alot. We find if we joke it
is better for everyone." I could picture this pwp being the electric
blender substitute for making the family's milkshakes.(chuckling) That
picture and the clerk stating that noone was in a hurry and to take my time
made a tough situation light and OK for me and others.

inserts. they are in all of my meds when we pay for them on the bill it
gives us all side effects. all so it says to ask 9(can't spell the name)
the
pers say any ? you got just ask and say all of the one you take. so ask
better than trying to read the insets. we do that from time to time. been
asked if we need this one as you have been on it a long time. ask your DR.
it is save grad. ramps i got 2 for my house. they are long as not to let me
go down to fast. i have elec. cart. one point cane and a 4 one. i go down
sideways with my canes and hold them output to the side when i go down. se
on wheels are hard for me to use as i do not have the strength to use the
brake with my hands. i can not lift a gallon of water in plastic jug. i

bifocals to. do not look down a lot. or VIVIAN puts her hand in my belt to
help to hold me. took lot of pravktis. it is not a over night thing. she
stays in back of me. i say that is the place for a lady to be. (joke) we
