When Bob was getting all those xrays and such for this and that they wanted me to wait in the waiting rooom...I said no..I will come with him. I had to wait outside the xray room but at least I was able to help Bob with taking off his shirt and keeping him steady and all...guess I am over protective. Bob has lost his sense of balance big time with pd. I help him putting his shoes on sometimes if he is too tired to reach way down there...:)...help him get dressed... I figured out that I am basically 2 people in one...lol...gotta laugh to keep the sanity :) with his diabetes he doesn't think of eating when he is busy doing stuff that he is normally toooo tired to do...so I have to..that is the way it is. yes....go to the dr with your hubby....that is a good way to ask questions and get answers :) hugs, Coleen CG to Bob :)
