I think I may be losing my mind. Maybe that would be best. Hubby is in the zone. He can't sit down, sit still, be still, takes off in a dead almost run, holding cane in his hand like a stick. Sometimes he can't stop and just falls over on the furniture. He is having more problems relating to what is going on. He will start telling me something that I know is not right and then he just stops. He is choking more. Has a hard time swallowing his pills. We cut them in half whenever possible. May have to dissolve them in water.
There is never a minute alone. We are supposed to go out for breakfast with our kids. Tomorrow is my daughter-in-laws birthday. Then they are cooking out on Monday. Her daughter and our other grandson will be down. Hoping I can steal some time away. At least go into the bedroom without any knocking on the door. He works very hard not to let them see him act in this manner. I feel there is no one to talk to. Our conversations are very limited. I feel like I am losing him more each day and he is still here. Through all of this I realize that my situation cannot compare to others on this Daily Strength site. O.K. I will stop the pity party because I can't see the words I am typing. I hope you all have a great Memorial Weekend. Blessings !

The kids need to know what is going on. Isn't that one of the reasons you moved there, to have them help. You need to stop doing this alone! You'll end up more of a mess.

Swallowing apparently is a serious PD problem. Each time I take Karen to her PD doctor, he asks her if she is experiencing problems with swallowing or any choaking. For her, gagging is an occassional problem now, so suspect that is a swallowing problem. She is having a throat/stomach scope being done this next Friday to see if there is a physical problem. As Sam03 stated, your children need to know all the facts and conditions of your husbands health, so that they can be a partner in his care. Take care and many hugs.

Let the kids know what is happening. They can't help if they don't know. See if some one can spell you for short periods of time with him. We all need a little time to just be. Hugs Marlene

Your kids need to help you; this is not fair that it is all on you. If you don't open up to them, they can't help you. God bless you!
