Re: Special list for Caregivers

[Janice Morgan <bunny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Camilla,
     I gave the care list e-mail address to my husband. He does not want to
learn anything about this PD said that he wants to keep a positive attitude
about and thinks his ignorance is the way to do it. He also said that when
things get real bad then he will educate himself. I need his support now.
