    When I suspect that my husband is having trouble buttoning his shirt or putting on his socks and shoes, I call out “Would you like some help doing (whatever it is)”.   If he says no, I leave it alone.  If he has to be ready to get picked up by a certain time, I’ll say something like “hey if you want to go to _________ you have to be ready by 6:45 and it’s already 6:35.  Let me help you do (whatever it is).   So far that works.   There are days when he does need the help and days when he does not.

    I’m obviously having trouble getting messages to this group.  I would like to be in on the zoom meeting coming up.  My husband has was diagnosed with Parkinsons 15 years or so ago but has recently gotten worse.
