Hi, everyone Just to let you know that my mother who has been in the hospital with parkinson's is doing much better and should be coming home either tomorrow or the next day. The Doctors have been giving her sinemet cr and less artane and it seems to be helping a lot. There is still some fine tuning to do as she is hiking her left shoulder up and down rapidly. Mom has an appointment to see Dr. Calne at UBC on the 10th of this month. Does anyone out there have any comments good or bad on blister packs? I would like my mom not to have to dole out her own pills and as she has so many it gets confusing even for me! Another question: any tips on making it easier for her to get out of her bed at night? She seems to have a problem with getting her toes caught in the sheets/blankets. Also any way to make it easier for her to turn on her bedside lamp at night in the dark, as her hands are really bad. Thanks Take care Bye for now Susan To Email me: [log in to unmask] To see me: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/1391/index.html
