Re: LIST:


No Don, you are not the only one who feels that way.  I am 52 and only two 
years ago was I diagnosed. I can't walk around my front yard and care for my 
plants because there is a slight hill and i lose my balance.  Can't mend a 
sock.  Cooking is getting harder (stirring w my right hand almost impossibl and 
lifting things in and out of the oven is scary)

Anyway, don't give up your determination.  You are an  inspiration.

    you know what hurts me is i could not go to the PD walk or go to the
    sentient hearings. or go on a vac. hear how alot that do things. this is the
    first time i ever had help with cutting my grass. how can i tell PWP'S do
    some of their own work. i am tiered of mom and my daughters saying dad look
    at your age and how advanced you are with your PD.  heck i am not that old.
    PETER F.  is older. i can walk 50 feet then got to rest. my legs scream with
    pain. i will be darned i will use any thing i am going to win this battle.
    are there other that are told you can't do this or that. i don't feel old. i
    want to buy one of those things that pick up leaves mom said it would be
    cheaper to hire it done yes but i won't feel happy over it. let some body
    else do my work. can't get them to under stand how i feel. all i hear is dad
    don't do this or that. work just a little then rest tomorrow what about what
    got to be done then. you just can't say tomoreo heck just can't spell am i
    alone on feeling like this? you are the only ones i can talk to. nobody
    under stands any more on how i feel. i was never the one tot ask for help i
    gave it. it's not fair am going to try come heck or high water. i am sorry i
