Thank you Michael and Lindy.
Michael I think we all go through stages of "craziness" for lack of a better word, but it's often a productive craziness. Joel Havemann, of the La Times just wrote an article called "The Best medicine may be hope." We got permission to reprint so here it is at:

He refers to our diagnosis as our own "personal 9.11".
Havemann has also written a book
A Life Shaken: My Encounter with Parkinson’s Disease
