My husband, Gordon, has Parkinson's Disease, diagnosed in  1996.  He is
presently in a rehabilitation center in a wheel chair, trying  to get to walk
again.  He had a bladder and bowel blockage the beginning of  May and went to rehab
after four days in the hospital.  His kidneys  are functioning again, but the
inactivity and extreme illness really brought him  down.
  We are redoing our kitchen and getting new floor coverings.  We  grow
dahlias and a lot of dirt comes in the kitchen door.  I do not want  carpet as it
was so hard to try to keep clean.  I was thinking of vinyl,  but Gordie
sometimes goes stocking footed, so I am concerned about  slipping.  Has anyone ever
solved this problem and can give me some help  deciding what to do?  Also, does
anyone have a URL for the Parkinson's  weighted spoons and forks?  He is not
sure they help, but I would like to  know where to look for them.
   Thank you for your help.
