This would not be the case, a fact about which I credit my fitness as an athlete when I was a younger man, my maintaining my abilities through singing and playing instruments, the time I spend writing and communicating, and having a very effective caregiver in my home. Of course, I am speaking of my lovely wife who also cares for my medical needs, such as my administration of medications. Finally, I know Deep Brain Stimulation surgery has helped lengthen my life and improved some of my symptomatic issues.
I am still here and I am full of joy for life. I didn't know if I would make it this far, but now I feel that there is so much to do as a grandfather, husband, dad, musician, church member, friend and participant in support groups. Thanks for your support and prayers through the years! -- Dan

Who would have thought a few years ago that you would still be able to do and enjoy so much!! I'm sure the DBA has a lot to do with that, but your inner strength and determination also has to be part of it. Good to connect with you again, dear friend.

Thanks Rosemary. I am so grateful to have friends like you who have to struggle with similar disabling conditions that give you so much understanding. Your blog was the very first one I found of this nature and it steered me toward this medium of expression and sharing during a troubling journey. Thanks for your faith and support! Dan
