I know what you're thinking. What in the world is familial tremor? I certainly never knew what it was before this year. My uncle has had it since he was a teenager, and I thought I had it too. Anyway, to answer; "what is it?" - it's an involuntary shake that occurs, usually in one hand. It's a neurological condition, much like Parkinson's. In my case, the shaking is in my right hand and leg.
I had a CT scan a while back, just to make sure there wasn't any abnormality there. The results came back normal, so it appears I have a brain after all :-)
I had seen a neurologist and he had done a quick clinical evaluation on me. At the time he didn't think I had Parkinson's, but now he's leaning that way. He's going to send me to specialists in London to confirm or deny the diagnosis.
I haven't been thinking about it much lately, just putting up with the symptoms. I can only focus on one thing at a time, and that one thing is Judi's treatment and recovery.
We have been so blessed with prayers. I didn't want to leave this area of my life out of Gods' blessing to us.
Oh, one more thing if I may; the weather got colder, I didn't bundle up, I'm getting a cold. I'm keeping my distance from Judi as we can't have her getting sick.
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers.
God bless you.

It's great that we can follow Judi's battle along all the way from here and we're also happy to hear that so far, it's going good!
I LOVE the hairdo - did I understand Rebecca did it? Awesome!
Love and prayers
