Hi All,

Hello Ed, pleased to hear you had a good trip. Sounds like it was worth the effort.

I have a problem in going off on holiday.  My wife keeps on at me to go with her even for a 4 day break but it makes me feel very anxious to be away from familiar things.  This has only happened over the last 3 years but having PD seems to knock my confidence and I fear being in a strange place and facing people who do not understand what PD does to someone.

I suppose I should face up to it just as I tell others to do and  look forward to the good days.  I need to do this for my wife because its so easy to forget what our partners and carers go through. 

Glad you got back safely

God Bless

Billy

Nice trip ed who says global warming isn't happening?
I've found this website so enlightening I would like to publicise it in my programmes newsletter. I work on a national volunteer programme for older volunteers in the UK similar to your Senior Corps and averages say that there must be volunteers of ours out there with and caring for pd and all the different conditions much useful info and support can be found for here. They would, I am sure be very interested to hear what people say and maybe join in. If its ok just let me know. It will be posted as a piece of information and not as a personal endorsement by name.
Do let me know if this is okay and doesn't break the forum rules.

travel is an issue...I don't think non-pd people realise the exhaustion from PD and then the travel. I go home by boat & it only costs £38 but now I fly, cost £210 pounds. The boat & train takes all day, the flight about 5 hours including travel to airport. I have to go by plane despite global warming!

Glad though you got there now REST.
