MJFF Billboards
 

I live in a region of relatively small villages and small in size cities, with the exception of Harrisburg, which is a large city in this neck of the woods.

I had to drive from Gettysburg to York yesterday for a electromyogram (EMG). Outside of New Oxford, as I approach Cross Keys is an electronic billboard. I don't always even glance at the billboard, it has been there for a long time, so I know it was there.

Yesterday, as I approached the traffic light I did a quick glance. I don't know why except that my peripheral vision must have caught the content and I subconsciously picked up on the content.

It was a billboard advertisement for the Michael J Fox Foundation!! I have never seen a PD org advertise in this way. But there was Michael and a MJFF homepage look. That is all I caught before I was past the billboard.

Go MJFF!!

I have already read his book, "Always Looking Up, The Adventures of an Incurable Optimist" and frankly find his best asset is his ability to delegate the work in his foundation to the best experts to work on providing funding research. He has pulled together a team of experts with extreme talent and open minds to try unusual research and options to improve the quality of life of Parkinson's patients.

Carolyn, let us know how your test comes out. I had the same test done when I suffered from frozen shoulder. I found it very unpleasant. Hope the results give youu some enlightenment about your disorder. Mine didn't. Physical Therapy proved to be very beneficial for me. Good Luck!

Oh my test was normal...yea! Thanks for asking, Vicki.

I have been a bad diabetic over the past four years and have let my A1C slip into the 7% area (7.2 last time)...was in the 5% area. Darn that pancreas and its ability to remember all those high glucose numbers. If anyone is interesting in what A1C is...click here.

So, my new MDS thought it prudent to have an EMG to check for neuropathy.
