Hi Chuck, Im new here, you wrote >Im glad that sometimes we can laugh at PD It just reminded me of an incident with my mother-in-law and me, actually we've laughed quite a bit about PD. But, this one time in particular, it was in the morning, my mother-in-law decided to sleep on her stomach. Her hand was under her, she was almost sufficating in the pillow, she couldn't move it, or reach her life line button, which was under her PJ shirt. I finally heard a little knocking, (at first I thought it was the furnace, sorry mom I thought you were the furnace) and I went in and helped her. She started laughing at herself. After when we were in the kitchen I told her someone should write a book on what Parkie persons and Caregivers should and should not do. For one, to all PD people, don't buy hugh pillows that weight a ton, never try to sleep on your stomach, wear your life line overtop your clothes and caregivers leave "MY" plate of food alone, I'll eat it, it just takes time, we just thought of all kinds of goodies for the book. We laughed till we were in tears. Oh and one more thing, I told her I'll have to get her a bell or something, definitely not a whistle. "If you blow a whistle like you blow your nose, I'd never hear you. She laughed. P.S. We just fixed all the base boards in her house, she doesn't have brakes on Her walker. Good Idea.
