hello

[Eugene Hughes <ehughes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I just read a "greeting" that suggested I post basic information about
myself and my Dad, the person with PD.  My father is 79, will be 80 in June,
he has been diagnosed about 10 years, we are not sure.  My mother was the
"keeper" of that kind of information, and she passed away 4 years ago.  I am
the sole caregiver of my dad,   the next thing I want to describe is going
to sound "victimy" and I don't want it to but here goes..... I left my life,
my partner, my home, my work, etc. you get the picture, to come here and
take care of my Dad.  He had an accident October 24...... I have no friends
in this town, have never liked this part of the country, and am isolated
beyond belief.  I am doing the b est I can every day.  He has ups and downs
as you all describe on this site.  I am grateful for this resource.  Thanks
for your generosity....with information, time, etc.  Hope that is a proper
introduction.     Deborah caregiver for Eugene 79/10
