Hello Dennis

Your concerns about the future are certainly understandable. While PD cannot be cured it can be controlled with the right kinds of medicine and an active lifestyle. Encourage your wife to get involved with physical therapy (especially the type for PD) and to remain active. PD is not a disease that you can take "lying down" you must be active. Those who are the most successful in keeping their disability at a moderate level are those who remain active.

Many hospitals also offer caregiver support groups where you can discuss your fears/anxieties about dealing with a loved one who has a chronic illness. Please give that a try!

Keep posting and let me know of your concerns.
