I wonder if a walker with a seat would help make things a little easier for you. My mom has one to help with her balance, and the built-in seat is great for breaks. If you're a candidate, your doctor may suggest a place to borrow one for a test drive. Best of luck to you!

It sounds like you are doing really well. We are all slowing down just from age. There are many things I can't do now. Just something we have to live with for sure. I know how you feel about your back. I have a huge problem too walking or standing up for very long. I think it is terrific that you write about all this. It must help other people a lot. Take care.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16571726966413507123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360965303183966035.post-46055659310829521872011-12-02T10:12:09.445-06:002011-12-02T10:12:09.445-06:00It's wonderful to hear that you don't have...It's wonderful to hear that you don't have dementia. After a fall that caused her to hit her head, my grandma's doctor found that she was in the early stages of dementia and prescribed Aricept for her. My mom used to bring it for my grandma to take every morning because they lived next door to each other. My aunt, who lived with my grandma, told my mom not to give her the Aricept anymore because it made her dizzy. Hello! That's one of the initial side effects. It would've eventually gone away. Because my mom was no longer allowed to give my grandma the Aricept, her decline into dementia was a swift one. She passed away a year and a half ago, and it angers me that she had to spend the last days of her life unable to recall who most of her family members were.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16961187360850352067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360965303183966035.post-18958721328843241702011-12-01T13:58:51.594-06:002011-12-01T13:58:51.594-06:00U can has awesome. :) I iz very proud of u. :)U can has awesome. :) I iz very proud of u. :)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712710601861189554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360965303183966035.post-7088636792685048902011-12-01T11:13:36.350-06:002011-12-01T11:13:36.350-06:00Keep on trying.

I think you are doing well pushing yourself to get things done. And you still push yourself to go out to breakfast on Sunday morning. Believe me, I couldn't do that. <br />The Nook is a great idea. And did you ever think you would set up Wi-Fi? I know you can't wait until you can get the treatment for your back next month. Things will get better then. I too am sure that the meds have something to do with the foggy feeling. I have all the confidence in the world in you. You are a strong person and so blessed to have Don. And I know I am blessed to have you in my life.<br />Love,<br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360965303183966035.post-54902665332422508982011-12-01T09:27:29.742-06:002011-12-01T09:27:29.742-06:00Mary

I do think you are completely right about the medication, I see that in my husband too. I hope the pain eases in your back. Anything I can I am always here.<br />XoxoxANGEL ABBYGRACEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777233381092226583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360965303183966035.post-81866144025428224942011-12-01T09:27:05.078-06:002011-12-01T09:27:05.078-06:00I said right from the start that I couldn't im...I said right from the start that I couldn't imagine you with dementia as you are completely normal. I think the drugs, just as you said, are affecting you of course and it's a token of how well together you ARE that you function so brilliantly what with all those side and after effects. I am sincere when I say I admire you and how you get through regardless of the pain and disability the Parkinson's puts you through. Blessings to you and Don. xoxRamblingonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796934980023316493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360965303183966035.post-42136151392666875262011-12-01T09:06:11.058-06:002011-12-01T09:06:11.058-06:00Can Kim walk TW through setting up our WiFI?

Right now, your back problems upset TW more than anything because Pop went through that. Of course, he's younger and had surgery. Lastly, TW ALWAYS forgets why she goes into rooms and she's so much younger. Don't beat yourself up over it. You have loving friends praying for you. xoxoCathy Keishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237575721246947408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360965303183966035.post-11590671086342917062011-12-01T08:56:31.211-06:002011-12-01T08:56:31.211-06:00I pray your pain eases some for you.
