Happy birthday ann I hope you had a lovely day and Ann you are more than welcome to put your feet under the table any time

Thank you Marie and Ems! All of 61 today and feeling it too. My Dad and my brother living in the home and now caring for my Dad sent me a card which was lovely to get. Feel a bit disassociated from family, but Dad is making great efforts to connect, and I am engaging on Genealogy with him. AND I sent to 23andme.com for the free genetic testing kit (not free anymore, now 99 dollars), and am amazed at what it has revealed, and reassured by what has not been revealed in some instances. AM now trying to find relatives...

Business didn't actually bring me here but anyway, now I am Vice Chair of PALS having left it in good hands with Tim Kelly as Chair and Cathy Pollard as Treasurer. Please note that the PALS AGM is on March 24 at 3 in the Tara Towers Hotel, with a speaker before the business of the AGM.

And while wearing my official hats, this time as PAI Board member, please return your membership form and fee to PAI. They are doing an audit of the database and need your information as current as possible. There is a new venture this year, the PAI Unity Walk, taking place on April 11 in Dublin (Non-Dublin based branches have the option of joining us, or organising one locally, this being the fundraiser for the National Office)> The walk will finish with the planting of an aspen tree in Stephen's Green. I cannot imagine the work that has gone into this already, mainly by Keith Adams the new CEO, and the staff in the office...

There was an article in the Mail recently about a new study (EarlyStim) done in France and Germany that says earlier DBS can be of great benefit, like around 7 years, which is when I had it, and I would agree that waiting is not always the best thing to do. The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine earlier this month. Can email it to anyone interested. It suits some people and not others.

And now I am going to read and play catchup, and looking forward to it - you are all so nice in here I am thinking of getting my feet in under the table (ie moving in)!!!!

Happy birthday Ann from another infrequent visitor . Hope you have a good day.

Sorry to have missed your post about your mother. Its true, none of us live forever so we have to make the most of every day.....Still, its very sad when your mother dies.......she's been an important person in your life and you must feel very sad at her passing. Sounds as if you've been dealing with a lot of stress in recent months so I hope looking forward into 2013, you can find a balance in your busy schedule to help ease it. We all know what happens when stress gets in on the act....lol xxxx

Happy Birthday Ann! hope you have a lovely day!!

2013 - its arrival was preceded by other events, for which I am now taking this birthday message to Anita and turning it on its head, after once more wishing you all the best on your birthday amnd for the coming year.

I am an infrequent visitor, well, in the recent past I am an infrequent visitor, but I hope to be here more often.

Hi Ems! Once again I want to thank you on behalf of us all for keeping the forum area a pleasure to enter and wander around. I have come to the conclusion that positivity is the secret, but have a ways to go to achieve your balance of attitudes.

I am planning on resigning from the Chair of PALS at the PALS Christmas lunch on January 13 (in the Goat Grill - email annk@pdpals.com for more info or to book)but will stay on Committee until the AGM, after which another assessment of where I am will need doing.

My mother died in late November and I think this has brought about a shift in priorities, and a realisation that no one lives forever. Then I had the DBS battery replaced - nearly 3 months after first saying I thought it was wearing down. I had to ensure funding was in place for it before a date would be offered. Imagine what having to do this (well handled by the HSE but still added stress) would be like if PD was worse than it is at present.

Finally, David Magennis will be seen on Nationwide tomorrow! 7pm I think.

And back to the priorities, time for myself, time for others instead of only half doing things.
Should be interesting - watch this space? G'Night

Happy Birthday Anita..hope your having a lovely day
