Thank you, to you both Nat and Jenn,
As for other caregivers at this time, there are not others in the same city available, at least for the present. It is also too soon for that requirement. It is fortunate that my spouse is able to continue to work three days per week. This is a gift, as work has been so much of his life. I know he will have a difficult time once work will be necessay to relinquish. When, that will become necessay is not easily forseen for now. I am grateful for having found this forum.
Thanks for the suggested Mayo Clinic website, Jenn, and your article on strategies for finding good sites. Understanding the direction the disease will take is very important.
Dimentia is also common to Parkinson's patients. At what point this occurs will vary I understand with the individual. The unrecognized pain you mention is a factor we
do not always take into account. Side effects from medications, we are all aware of, but, how they present with an individual I believe varies. Your comment on infection due to radiation for your dad, is something which would not have occurred to me. Thanks again. I find this very helpful.
