My hands shake & folks whisper around me as they speculate about my condition.The Veterans administration has taken great care of me as a retired Marine. Please note that I always strived to uplift buskers & our craft... adieu y alrato

I have a number friends with the same ailment.
The way I understand it, there are various types. As a patient of the VA myself, I know that their care is the very best.
I certainly wish you the best.

Best wishes, devious

I also wish you the best. I appreciate your contributions to this board and to the art of busking.

Looks like your days at Fred's Nitroglycerin Factory are numbered.
A cocktail bar might be the answer!
"Shake it up baby now,,,"
(Just remember, if James Bond comes in:
"Stirred,..not shaken.")

hey Devious,
I'm not envious,,,
I wish you the best,
in the situation.
Keep the smile,
and the dirt behind the ears.
Life's good,...
life's good.

your friend,
gallagher

p.s.: hey buddy,
you got my 8OOth Post(!)
Now, if THAT's not a sign from the gods(!!) 😇
800(!),...those 'O's remind me of my eyes,,...

I am sorry to here that Devious, I always smile when I remember us meeting in Sandiego - nice times.
Keep on going on.

Devious,

I was diagnosed about 7 years ago with early onset Parkinson's. I wasn't even 50 at the time. Each and every case is different. Mine is very slow progressing and unilateral to my right side. If you want to talk more about this, don't hesitate to PM me here and I can give you my email and/or text info. I've been through the tests and such and might be able to enlighten you a little.

Actually, it's "shaken, not stirred."



Oddly enough, in "You Only Live Twice," Charles Grey's character gets it wrong, but Bond is courteous and doesn't point it out to him.

You got this Hermano.

(coming from a man who broke the same leg twice) It's mind over matter: As per my friend Rod's philosophy, If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

My father was recently diagnosed and it really is true, mind over matter is the deciding factor in the quality of life. Don't let it defeat you, keep finding ways to do what you love to do.

Good thoughts to you sir

As another Parkie...feel free to IM/message me if you want to talk further about it. I don't hesitate to discuss it. Every Parkinson's case is different.

Steve
