Default Been a big week in Lake Woes Be Gone

I finished up my paperwork for SSDI this week and now get to do the same for a small private policy that will help until Uncle Georgie makes up his mind. Found the paper work a challenge as I was still not ready to admit to being handicapped and kept underplaying it. And as if that was not enough, today I made an appointment to see a good bankruptcy attorney to see if I am or not. Real estate has gone nuts in case you haven't noticed and it is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. I am going to be alright since my home is secure and I never wanted to be rich anyway. Takes time away from fishing.

So, something of a watershed. I got the Zandopa last week and am experimenting with it. Shows promise.

Unlike Fiona, I am immersed in PD research and continue to work on www.parkinsonsonline.org as a repository of all the stuff Anne Frobert and I have gathered and what it all means. It is a daunting task but I think I have a large part of it figured out but I have to make it understandable.

And so, life begins anew.....
