My husband has advanced Parkinsons. I've been caregiving for 2 yrs but, now that our insurance has kicked in, have help 4 hrs a day, five days a week. Very helpful! As others have said, it's been painful to see my independent, get-things-done husband gradually become helpless. But he's 87 so here we are... Hospice has been wonderful-recommend it! Our biggest hurdle, urinary frequency with accidents, was largely taken care of by using a condom catheter. No longer do I get up at night with him. Next hurdle: how to become Amazon woman to handle those sometimes difficult transfers without hurting my back or shoulders. So far, we've been lucky but it's concerning. Other than being careful with posture, are there any suggestions out there?
