Wait a minute....

I could easily take both sides here. So what else is new..lol. I have taken the first break from this board in years and it wasn't because there is anything wrong with the board...it's because i got myself in over my head on a project and am severely ill to be doing it. Talk about why i don't work! good grief my decision making skills are a mess. i get something down and

then i see something that i like better - it's j ust a power pt - you'd think it was a major epic. MJFF is emphasizing dyskinesia and cognition - mike has had it for 20 yrs also it's easy to understand the priorities.

i take patient advocacy very seriously and have been responsible for some changes. it works.

some of us are very ill. i got on an escalator, going down, at the airport, tugging my bag on wheels behind me and realized i was in immediate danger and just can't do that anymore. if i hadn't had my walking stick to firmly put on the step in front of me, i think i would have fallen down that escalator.

i posted at the same time as Fiona, but certainly know where she is cooming from.

Don't write this board off yet. damnit.
