Thanks for your reply, @janetgeller9. It sounds like you and your husband need some assistance dealing with the significant changes you are both experiencing. In your first post, you mentioned that you were a therapist, practicing part-time. As such, you probably understand how helpful it can be to talk with someone about the changes you are experiencing. Do you know of someone who might be able to help you?
Regarding your husband, I would recommend that he see a movement disorder specialist to discuss the cognitive and physical changes he is experiencing. Perhaps a neuropsychologist might be of help as well. Has your husband been evaluated by a neuropsychologist?
At the very least, a physical therapy program for your husband might be great for the physical problems. Some special physical therapists have special in Parkinson's. I would encourage you to contact his doctor and ask for a referral for PT.
