I live in a city called Apple Valley. I read an article Northwest Parkinson's post. I am 54 and have lived with this illness for 18 years now. When I was first diagnosed, I did alot of genealogy research to learn more about my family's health history. My father never talked about his family and my mother was adopted.<BR/><BR/>I found my mother had a biological sister in Alaska who was 2 years older than my mother. They wrote back and forth as both are deaf. We haven't heard from her 1/2 sister for awhile and I am hoping she is OK. She sent me a few pictures of herself, and my children said I looked exactly like her, only younger. Her name is Laura Belle Scott and she lives at 22402 N. Birchwood Apt. 104, Chugiak, AL. 99567. If you could do an on-line search in the local papers, it would help alot to set our minds at ease.<BR/><BR/>I also have a sister with Parkinson's disease. I have had my gene tested and have 2 mutations of my Parkin gene.<BR/><BR/>I hope you continue with your editorial cartoons (this political storm we have been having must have plenty of fodder for your pen) as it is important to keep your brain working creatively. I play my clarinet, and love crossword puzzles. I also have a 100 lb. yellow lab I have trained to walk well with me. He has the AKA good canine citizen award. We walk daily and I also practice Pilates and us a elyptical machine 3 times a week. <BR/><BR/>Love you humor. Blessings to you and your family,<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Vicky Lynn<BR/>vlhperry@hotmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8336643719537144495.post-51090020584742488882008-09-15T09:39:00.000-07:002008-09-15T09:39:00.000-07:00"The gifts of PD" Do you find yourself as amazed t..."The gifts of PD" Do you find yourself as amazed to write such a phrase, as I am to understand exactly what you mean?<BR/><BR/>Pete<BR/><BR/>PS: I used to over-tip, now I tip over.Peter Dunlap-Shohlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06286710554254177150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8336643719537144495.post-664197939662640562008-09-15T09:10:00.000-07:002008-09-15T09:10:00.000-07:00I'm so glad I found you - via Parkinson's Post.

I was just saying to my sister after she told me a story about leaving a $100.00 tip instead of a $1.00 tip because she was moving too quickly through her day. Her comment was, "You're familiar with that." My reply was, "One of the gifts of PD is that I'm no longer familiar with making mistakes due to being/feeling rushed. I'm no longer capable of rushing." Thanks for your blog. <BR/><BR/>CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8336643719537144495.post-75183433494617674252008-09-14T22:43:00.000-07:002008-09-14T22:43:00.000-07:00Grateful for the feedback.
