both my dad and one brother have Parkinson's my dad passed a few years ago from this; it turned into dementia.
I'm so sorry to hear that.

I pray that the progression is slow enough that reasonable and effective treatment can be discovered.

Prayers for you, Greg. A close friend has Parkinson's. One thing the doctor said was to go to the local Y and participate in their boxing program with others. Helps with coordination and balance, I believe. This is a Wednesday ritual for him.

My sympathies Greg,
That's a 20 for sure. Try your best to stay optimistic. Parkinson's is like a black cloud over my family. My younger sister is going through the last stages now. She was diagnosed 15 years ago.

Obviously a lot to think about.
Having friends like here will be important.
Telling my current friends they are important to me will be a priority.
Should have been before now.
Caring if I p…, people off not a problem. Actually never,was.
All part of the journey I guess and gives a different perspective.
At some point I have a Beale Pen Wizard to donate. NIB.
A lot of things I didn't get around to.

One of my favorite movies is The Bucket List.
Fortunately I don't have a list.
I have been able to do anything I wanted.
Skydiving, touring the country on a motorcycle, flying a helicopter and fixed wing airplane.
My parents went ape sh** when they found out about the motorcycle.
I always told them there are worst ways to die.
'Told you'
Not the way I envisioned going out. Figured I'd get hit by a beer truck.
