shakes

Last night we were eating supper.

Miriam looked up and explained to me: "Look at my thumb."

It was shaking in that way that I know too well. Parkinsons and AD are cousins and they often go together. Her father died of Parkinsons and her oldest brother has the disease now.

So it was not with pleasure that I watched that thumb quaver.

"Not another one Lord."

Oh Dave, I'm so sorry to hear this. My husband has tremors which are getting worse.

Hopefully, this will be very slow and intermittent. Susan
