Re: Elaine's husband/was update on margey

[Mary Ann Ryan <bentwillow@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Elaine, thank you for your condolences.  Jamie had PD for 28 years and died
at the age of 68.  Although PD ravaged his body, I believe that he actually
died of something else, probably cancer.  Because he was so debilitated we
decided to not to hospitalize him or do extensive testing when he stopped
eating in March of this year.

Because of your location, I imagine that it is difficult trying to find a
really good movement disorder clinic(although I might be wrong).  It would
appear that Dick desperately needs to be seen by doctors who are very
familiar with the treatment of PD.  If you can find such a center, it would
be worth your time and trouble to get him to one.  Treatment could then be
easily monitored by a doctor in your area.

Please continue to let us know how Dick is doing.  I shall pray for both of
you.

God bless

My husband is 71.  We live in New Mexico.  I'm sorry about Jamie.  I do
believe that quality of life is important, however.   I'm sorry I didn't
understand your numbers.  Dick is really with it tonight after a terrible
early morning.  We are watching a movie.
