It terrifies me! It could happen to me! I am a single woman, 72, with the beginnings of Parkinson's disease, so that it is difficult for me to run, let alone walk fast. I feel vulnerable all the time - if I am going to do my marketing (with money in my purse) or coming home (with my groceries and, maybe, some money), or in bed at night. |
