Hi, all! My partner was diagnosed with a "Parkinsonism" nearly 3
years ago and I've been taking care of him ever since. He got
WRETCHED healthcare where we used to live (St. Louis, MO - moved to
New Orleans June of '04) and the care here seems to be better.
There is, of course, room for improvement. Anyway, as a caregiver
I've been dealing with feelings that I know many of y'all have been
coping with and I'll be very anxious to share. There's a lot I need
to know - I've been pretty much blind for nearly 3 years. I've
started a Yahoo Group for Parkinson's in and around New Orleans and
you all are welcome to join us there, too, @
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/ParkinsonsNOLA/ Right now I'm
working with Touro Hospital to beef up attendance at their support
group so if any of you are coming to New Orleans (or know anyone who
is) come see us.

Meanwhile, THANK YOU for being here!!!!!!

Randy
