Thank you all for your many helpful responses to the incontinence problem. We are going to ask my father to start scheduling voiding every 2 hours to remove the anxiety caused by urgency and try the paper clip. He just started sinemet today and I just hope that it's not too late. He's so demoralized that I think he just wants to give up and die. And my mother ... I think she's just scared that she'll need to give him total care and she's almost 80 herself. They've never experienced chronic illness before and I think they thought they were immune!
