    1. These entries were designed specifically for patients in the PD Recovery program. If you are not a patient in that program, you can disgregard these aspects. However, I do not believe that any of them will hurt you, and in fact, could be of some benefit to the average person. [back]
    2. This list is incomplete, and only intended as a resource for ideas. “Creativity” is a broad term and can mean anything in which one’s life is enriched and/or something is created as a result. Apply your own interests and talents to this category. [back]
