Things to do

[NHGrace]

We also found PT, OT, speech therapy and a few Parkinson's exercise classes (dance, yoga, etc) helpful in the initial phase - something to do and until he bad fall in April, it had made a real difference for both is us! We have spoken to a few social workers and hospice nurses to make sure I am clear on my moms wishes for the end and to talk about her sadness and fears.

Good luck to the two of you your mom is going to need you and your going to need her.

Best wishes and stay strong.

My mum was diagnosed approx 7 years ago ( originally as Parkinson). She started walking and would walk almost 5 km or more at a brisk pace daily. strangely she never fell while doing this activity. all falls occured while moving slowly inside the house. Anyway I feel that the walking gave her a lease of life and delayed the onset.
