Hi Everyone..Welcome new community members!..Feel free to check in and introduce yourselves, and let us know how youre doing

I really wish I could have made it to the PAN Forum..Im bummed out about that..I would appreciate for those of you who attended to share about how it was..My foot is somewhat better as long as I dont stand on it too long..The Dr says it was in fact plantar fasciitis..so Ive been taking anti-inflammatories and icing it

I went to my support group meeting today, and we discussed the medications we were taking..It really interesting how different everyone is and how we have such different reactions to the meds..We have a new member to the group who is considering DBS at an early stage of the disease because she simply cant tolerate pd meds without getting very sick..She says the only med she can tolerate is Parcopa..I remember the struggle I went through with nausea etc..Thank God that is behind me now

Look like we are going to get a bit of a break from the bitterly cold weather..Highs in the mid 30's anyway..Still cold but sounds alot better than what we have been having..Hopefully with a little luck I will be able to get outside soon and get some stuff done..and hopefully my foot will allow me too as well

Not much to report this week..just a hang around, do nothing week

How was your week?

Altered picture of the week........



Has Tom Cruise taken Scientology too far?

except that our 13 yr old grandson has been with us while his dad, our youngest son, is in Seattle. Will be with us next week also. He's a great kid, but we have to get up early to get him to school each morning since we don't live near his regular school bus route. Getting to sleep a little late was supposed to be one of the perks of retirement, but I have been putting up with the early rising pretty well.
Like Steve, I am looking forward to warmer weather, but here in the deep South that means nighttime lows above freezing and daytime highs in the 50s or 60s. I'll try not to gloat, Steve.

I hope everyone has a good week.

I like Dr. Spock's new face!

Hey all,

I have had a great week! My little darling first graders tattled all week long! ("He's looking at me!" "She skipped!" "He spit on me!") They had a great time passing out Valentine cards. It was fun to see their reactions over a simple little card. Sweet. I do love them so. I hope everyone had a happy Valentine's day. Girls, if your spouse didn't get ya anything, go out and buy something pretty and tell 'em thank you.

I spent Thursday and Friday of last week digging out of the 20" snowfall we had. I'm so worn out that all I could do yesterday was sleep. I had to cancel our support group meeting Friday because of the roads being in bad shape. We don't need any parkies falling needlessly, getting into auto wrecks, or worse yet stuck in a ditch. We have had the last 12 nights below 0* F. with wind chills around -20*. I guess winter finally decided to show up. I woke up this morning and guess what? Three more inches of snow to clear away. Today I'm of the opinion Mother Nature put it there, she can take it away.
Steve - I hope your foot gets better. There is nothing worse than having a bad wheel.
Mary Frances - Due to all of the snow, the schools were closed on Thursday (Valentine's Day) My nice was so upset because she didn't get to take her cards to school. Most of the kids in her class live in the neighborhood so I managed to take her around to deliver them. She was so tickled with it! It was fun to see thier reactions.

I had extended the PAN trip so I could visit with family in Virginia. Unfortunately the icy roads kept me from doing that. So I just stayed with a nephew, read, watched movies, & worked on the computer.

I was glad to get home to Arizona yesterday. I really don't mind cold weather, but I hate ICE!! But going through that bad weather reminds me that summers in the Arizona desert aren't so bad after all ...

In other news, I think we're going to go to a local animal shelter this morning to see about adopting a cat. Can't wait!!

Thanks Jean..You reminded me about something I forgot to include in my post..My cat seems to be doing better..she is getting her appitite back and she is still on a mix of anti biotic and prentesone, and getting stronger..She squirms with strength now when I hold her down to give her the medicine..It is a challenge now to give her the meds

I think its great that you are adopting a cat Jean..My house wouldnt be home without them
