No balance

Julieanne25arobinson profile image

My Mum saw the consultant today who told her that when he first saw her in December last year, he felt she had Parkinson's. He went on to examine her eyes and movement. She could not follow his finger without moving her head and she can no longer hold her balance. He told her that although she is having medication, this will not help the PSP. It's sad that she can no longer stand and hold her own weight. I'm hoping that we shall soon have a place for her in a new nursing home closer to home, but she now knows and understands she cannot return home as she needs 24 hour care. I hate this disease 😥
