Following
at a dignified pace behind the TeleHealth event, we come to the August
support group meeting, Saturday the 16th, and for once I got off my
lazy... Boy Recliner, and actually got us a speaker! A speaker who will
speak about speaking! After fighting over the phone all morning with an
insurance company and a hotel reservations web site , you can bet I will
be listening carefully as the one-and-only Anne Ver Hoef, speech
pathologist and LSVT-trained practitioner gives us an earful on talking
understandably and swallowing without choking. The usual time, 3:30,
downtown and upstairs at the gracious and commodious Pioneer Home. When I
put it like that what can you do but plan to be there?
And now, taking a giant step into the future, I see that at the October 18th meeting we will have Dr.
Ryder Gwinn, neurosurgeon at Swedish. He works with the team at
Swedish Neuroscience Institute (including Peggy Shortt, Susie Ro,
Jennifer Witt and Peter Nora). He will be able to take your questions
about the latest on Deep Brain Stimulation, and the neurosurgery program
at Swedish in Seattle.
As he crystal ball fades to black, I look forward to seeing all of you LIVE AND IN PERSON at these landmark events.
Your PD Maitre'd
Peter
