Short Bio

I am a retired (2/2002) county social worker. My wife, Anna, and I have five children and nine grandchildren. Anna’s primary interest activities include all things family, socializing, shopping, baking and cooking (upon which I am dependent). My interest activities include flower gardening, photography, my little Chromebook laptop, Google products, journaling, biking and racquetball, and the Minnesota Vikings.

I was diagnosed in August, 2012 after much frustration with my deteriorating racquetball play.  I trace the first notice of symptoms to 6 years earlier when I found my gait changing, and my right foot dragging somewhat. With the diagnosis ( a shock), I quit racquetball after almost 30 years of playing. The progression of PD symptoms (slowness, internal and external tremors, and apathy) have frustrated my writing interest.

I am impressed with the structure and functioning of this website; I hope it will be useful in dealing with this condition we call PD.
