As driving becomes more difficult, I do it less and less. However, with my doctor appointments, etc., and having 3 grandchildren living here all the time and 2 more part time as well as getting my son to and from work, there is a lot of driving to do. We live in a rural area with no municipal bus system. SOOOOOooooo, my 25 year old son has finally taken the first step. He passed the written test and now has a learner's permit and is practising for his driving test. He will become the driver in our household, reluctantly. I am very blessed to have him here for me. I guess I am just trying to say "bless you" to all the caregivers out there for your time, talent, patience, and love. I know that other pwp, whether they say it or not, know we all could not tolerate life with pd without you.
