Talked to Dan at UCSF Aunt Bev will be starting at the begining of the year, Yea so excited. Also took her to the hospital for UTI she is hooked on Pepsi and if I do not keep up the water more she will get UTI well they kept her to put in antibotics for the night they did not give her the right amount of meds(she takes Carbidopa-Levodopa 25-250, Pramipexole 0.5 mg, and takes Paxil for depression) when she came home she had the shakes like Parkins not to bad but enough that is was driving her crazy she has never had the shakes anyway sorry getting to my point she also started getting pretty tense in her muscles so I asked her PC doc to prescribe her a muscle relaxer and OMG she slept great but when she woke up both eyes were wide open all day stayed that way till we just got back from California a hour ago and I put her to bed they have not been open like that since before PSP we couldnt believe it she looked at every thing she could and had a smile on her face the whole way home we goofed off out driving around but it was for about six hours drive normaly 2h 45min when she is asleep her eyes are wide open also and she has a full blown conversation with someone I (I like to think its Grandma or a few good angels) anyway just wanted to bring it up and I will discuss it with her Doc but when she is complety relaxed her eyes stay wide open Sorry my spelling sucks

OK, I found a couple. You win.

Kryste, I could not find the spelling mistakes but I loved the "stream of consciousness" writing style and can't wait for the next instalment which I hope will be as upbeat as this one.
