Teresa- it's JJames, do you know about the sleeping issues of the morning time. every morning I can't move very well with the Parkinson's and it hurts to force myself to get up- and I can give my self permission to sleep- I'm at a lost- I know my DR said that will happen as the stages process( I'm already in stage 3- because of the agent orange- so they say? I know and cam feel my body changing at a rapid pace and the side affect show up more often- as again I have been told by the VA Parkinson's DR- the chemicals would speed up the process. Love to hear you wisdom and advice. JJAMES>

@gailb Poor Anne, this must have been such a shock for her. Heart problems do not seem to run in my husband's family thankfully, most live to be quite old, but in my family I have already outlived the ages my parents and most of my aunts and uncles died at, all from heart problems. Thankfully the battery of tests I have been through show my heart as doing well.

@contentandwell. You are lucky. Our friends that we met during our month in Panama, were in a similar situation. Anne was in her early 70s and had just gotten home from the hospital after nearly dying. Her husband, Ken was 82 and did everything since she was confined to a wheelchair. He was the picture of health and looked and acted much younger than his age. We returned from Panama last September. We learned 1 month ago that Ken passed away suddenly 2 weeks after surgery to put a stent in his heart.
Make sure you let your husband know how much he means to you. Everyone thought Ken would outlive Anne. Sadly that wasn't true. I know you let your husband know he's wonderful which is great.
