You have both been through a lot lately, @sherryallen and you are both to be commended for your perseverance during this stressful time.
I would like to suggest another Connect discussion group that might be helpful to you. It's the Caregiver Support group. Here is a link to the discussions:
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/caregivers/
Here you will find members discussing many aspects of caregiving. I'm sure you will relate to much of what they have to say. Feel free to jump in and share your feelings with these folks. I am sure they will welcome you into their conversations.
Continue to post about your husband's progress. I'll be interested in how he recovers from the stroke and falls as well as how he manages with the PD. Does he have any speech problems as a result of the stroke or the PD?

Yes he has trouble with speech due to PD no residual effects from his stroke. He just had a swallowing test and they are sending the results to his neurologist. They said they are recommending speech therapy because they saw an issue when he was ask to swallow a more dense food. He has been getting choked some when he is drinking not eating. I wanted to ask if you are familiar with a device that you place over the mouth and suction food out if he is ever choking on something? If so will you please send me the name of mfg? Thanks for everything
