No one was hurt but I don't like not knowing where I'm going and having no control over speed, braking or anything. At the end of the ride he gently asked me if I thought I might be able to ride Iowa on my solo bike. What a relief. I'm sure it will be tough but I'm doing pretty well alternating 25 mile rides pretty much on the flats with going up and down the steep hill near our home. I'm feeling more and more energetic and just stronger. I'm so glad I added Sinemet too. 25/100 3/day plus Requip XL 8 mg in the morning.
I got my first rejection letter from a literary agent today. I expect there will be many more but hopefully my book will be published at some point and you all can critique it.
Speaking of books, I'm starting to read "Madness and Memory: The Discovery of Prions--a new biological principle of Disease" by Stanley Prusiner, MD, Nobel Laureate. I expect it will provide valuable insights into our disease. Hopefully I can sort of understand it.
Happy Father's Day all you dads.

You're still not doing that bad biking across IOWA on a non-tandem. It took about one 2hr ride on a tandem to realize how much practice it would take to feel safe much less enjoy riding one and I quit. It was never fun.
Your're taking 1/2 of a 50/200 sustained release or a 25/100 immediate release sinemet?
it would be interesting to read the details of how you switched from neupro to your current drugs and what symptoms are better. did you taper off the neupro or just switch? are you taking generic or brand requip xl cuz i think you said before the generic requip wasn't effective? sorry to be so nosy.
