Parkinson's Forecast for February, Southcentral Alaska Edition

Hello people with Parkinson's Disease, and people who wish them well, near and far! No, make that worldwide! No, wait. Not grandiose enough. Hello to all you aforementioned people Universe wide! There. That covers it.
 
First up, the Telehealth report. The broadcast will be Monday, Feb. 11. The topic: Parkinson's and nutrition, room 2401 at 1:00 p.m. in the Providence oncology wing on Piper St.  Go to the second floor walk down the lonnnnnnnng hall that stretches South from the cafe and look for room 2401 pretty much at the end of the hall on your right.
Then comes our regular meeting on the 16th. You'll remember we assigned homework for this one, Each person is to come with a small but helpful tip to share with the rest of us in handling life with PD.

Early warning, the May meeting will be with local motion disorders doctor Alec Glass. This is your chance to ask question of a smart well-trained PD doctor. Some of you had questions about PD and sleep problems.  These are both areas of interest for Dr. Glass. So be there, or be sorry.
Until then,
Festinate forward!
Peter
