| Short Bio |
I am now a full time caregiver for my husband with PD/Dementia now dx for 2 years. Symptoms, of course occurred almost 20 yrs ago but the shuffle, dementia, voice reduction did not show up til 2021/22. He’s 79, I’m 75. We are actively engaged in PT, OT, ST and now weight training. I’ve added puzzles and games for neurological support. Who knows if any of this is helpful but it gives our day some meaning. I prepare a Mediterranean diet that we both enjoy with new spices and tastes. He’s lost weight and energy. I struggle with allowing apathy or trying to engage him from day to day. Am I chasing the disease?
