Mark, I think the best philosophy is "one day at a time". Things change so from day to day, and the responses from the med. profession seem to conflict. The in-home care seems to be as helpful as anything. I also encourage my Mom, as does her husband, to try to walk daily, even if only a short way. She is having more and more difficulty with that due to forward-bent posture. Her back is very much in pain. We are going to try a back brace to see if that offe rs any measure of relief. We are also not close enough to a Parkinson's suppor t group to take advantage, but if you are, it is a marvelous help. And if sociali- zing is a problem, it helps with that as well. We're all watching, listening and hoping to learn something to be of help. Best wishes, Lynn Lowe
