So good to hear from you again, @janetgeller9. The plans you have are good. This is a difficult diagnosis and I can understand being overwhelmed. Keep learning all you can.

The Davis Phinney Foundation has many teaching videos regarding PD. Some of these videos are by professionals and many by PD patients, some of whom are also PD patients. I would encourage you to view the videos. It will give you a good background for dealing with this unwelcome disease. (https://davisphinneyfoundation.org/webinars/).

The organization also has a YouTube channel with webinars, https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=davis+phinney+webinars

I look forward to hearing from you as you have questions and concerns.

Thank you Teresa. Your resources are so helpful. It makes me feel not so alone. About the videos, I don’t know how much I want to know as I’m concerned about raising my anxiety. Right now, I want to make sure Stan gets to a neuropsychologist( we have an appointment in March-nothing sooner) and a PT who specializes in Parkinson’s.His PT is excellent. I use him myself but he’s not a Parkinson’s PT. Of greatest priority is a support group for him which, so far, I haven’t found. It would be good if he could go in-person. Still working on his care.
