this morning with kate thornton

[Connemmara]

Just turned the tv over and saw a gentleman crying - I missed what he suffered from bless him. Can anybody enlighten me. Thanks

[Postdog]

It choked me up. He has a brain disease where his functions are gradually dying. Bit close to home to my situation so I really felt for him.

Multiple system atrophy...very sad. He caught my attention because before his wife mentioned it I thought he had Parkinson's which my brother had.

thanks postdog and anneasquith for your answers. I am sorry to hear postdog that you are suffering as well - Annesquith I have been posting for about a week now perhaps you have missed them. Mind you nothing too exciting - thank God for that have had enough of that.
