Talking My PC has a symptom
(This is meant in good humor, to maybe even inspire a laugh )
I think my computer has PD. I keep typing and the fonts keep getting smaller...

I was at the neuro yesterday and she asked my how my writing was...

I said, "I don't know, I use a computer."

The doctor wasn't amused when I continued with, "though, the fonts sometimes do get smaller when I'm typing."

You guys are the only ones I thought would appreciate this humor; you have my apology in advance if I've offended you.

Robert

That is assuming the doctor got the joke...heh heh.

If not......well it may have dawned on her later what you actually said.

If there was no connection? well there you have it - attitude.

Default yep when my Neuro told me I had PD ..
I said "so this means I won't be able to play the piano".

He said "no you should be able to play".

I said "thats good, because I couldn't before I got PD".

(The old ones are the best ones).

That's mean.

I take offense to this one because I've studied piano and music since I was 8 years old, and can't play anywhere close to how I could a year ago let alone 3 years ago. But the typing one is too funny and true because I type 99.9% of the time myself.

Sorry for your loss, I'm a musician too. Irony would have it that the year I was diagnosed I was given a baby grand piano for a wedding gift and my family pitched in for my birthday to get me a new Martin guitar. When force myself to forget my left use to work, I play the piano one handed and receive some pleasure. The guitar mostly offers frustration now.

I still think the piano joke is funny though, maybe it would be better if we switched out piano for another word. I just can't come up with one right now that definitely wouldn't offend some one.

Sorry if you thought the joke was mean, I am sure that we have all lost some ability we treasure, but what's the alternative to humour.

Neil.

p.s. I used to type a lot in my job in the IT industry, and my one fingered "letter at a time" apology for typing is a pretty poor substitute and contributed to my inability to perform my job. Still had to laugh at RD42's post though.
