This mailing came to me through the Parkinson Alliance site, from someone who is not on the list. If you can help her with the information she is seeking, please write directly to her, not to me or the list (or just CC it to the list). Thanks, Jerry Date sent: Sat, 08 Aug 1998 09:07:42 -0700 From: Donald & Lori Rai <[log in to unmask]> Send reply to: [log in to unmask] To: [log in to unmask] Subject: need info Dear Sirs: My aunt has Parkinson's and has had this for over 15 years as far as we can tell. In the last few years it has become much more obvious. She is unable to do things and has gotten to the point where we must consider having a full-time care giver. I am trying to find information on products and clothing that can make her life easier. She has to wear support hose and in her present condition there is no way she can put them on. She insists on doing most things herself and she should but there must be some aides that can make that possible. I am also trying to find clothing that velcro's instead of buttons that are had to manage. Materials that are slick so she can move in and out of the car easier, and walking aides that she can manage. She tends to fall a lot because of a low blood pressure problem brought on by her newest medication, so having a walking aide that would make her feel more stable would be great. I hope I am not asking for the moon, but I don't know where to search anymore...thanks for any help you can give, Sincerely, Lori Rai email: [log in to unmask]
