My father, 79/7+ has the same symptom, if you listen carefully, the meaning will often come to you. An example: He asked for a chewable mint, like a Nikko wafer, he meant an antacid pill. He said "Plumbing" meant he needed to get to the bathroom. I have seen many medications mentioned here for confusion, I will leave that to the experts, I believe we must remain hopeful, and keep plugging for a complete cure for PD and as much symtomatic relief as possible for the time being.
