re: A Parkinson’s patient says his debilitating tremor vanished within minutes

Now don't shoot me for this, it's just a joke!

A 95 year old man meets a 90 year old lady in a nursing home. They start talking and eventually become close friends. They realize that sex for them probably isn't going to be possible so he asks her if she'll at least stick her hand in his pants and hold it.

So for a few months she'll stick her hand in his pants and hold it for him. They're both happy.

Then one day, she can't find him and she gets a little worried thinking maybe something happened to the old guy. She wanders outside and sees him on a park bench with another woman, and that woman has her hand in his pants! She approaches them and angrily tells him she thought they had something special and asks what the other woman has that she doesn't.

He answers, Parkinson's.

Great story. My mom died of complications due to Parkinson's, but was this part really necessary?

yeah but...."something , something US healthcare is trash...."

A male family member had (I think it is called) essential tremors, which isnt full blown Parkinson’s but a relative. Couldn’t drink from a cup and could barely sign his name. He flew out to Corvallis Oregon and they did one side/hand/part of brain and he walked out same day with 80% reduction. Went back 9 months later for other side last year. Can hold both his hands steady now. It’s amazing.
