Well my dad just finished week 2 on the Mirapex - if you ask HIM how he feels he'll say "well maybe a little better" - if you ask me or my mom we'll say a ZIILLION times better ! he may not be walking as good as he should but mentally he is doing much better. Talking eating etc. Well yesterdya we were out doing some yard work and my dad was sitting on the porch. All of a sudden he got up and went in - then came out with the weedwaker and walked to the mail box and weekwacked aroung it ! Now this doesn't sound like much - but two weeks ago he couldn't have made the walk to the mailbox (150 feet) let alone drag the weed wacker there and then wack too ! So we are very excited ! best of luck to all of you too !
