What do you wish to do? I wish to go to Hawaii, Italy, and to learn to play the saxophone.

This conference on PD is very helpful since I have an inlaw suffering from PD. He is having tremors most of the time but scared of taking the levodopa more than once a day.

Heartbreaking for all involved, that is the word I would use to describe the experience. I will never forget the first resident we had that died, very frail and helpless she weighed 80 pounds on a good day. Very feisty but you had to love her. It was just heartbreaking to see her  succumb to the virus. I just wanted to pick her up and hold her. Also, seeing the nurses in full PPE sweating under their garb, coming to work every day with fear and uncertainty,  yet trudging ahead to care for these frail people we have all come to love.
