I guess he is hanging in there. His mind is still pretty good. What I have trouble dealing with is that he was doing extremely well until 5 yrs ago. He is retired minister and was conducting meetings going to therapy, driving. Doing everything he used to. Then a doctor prescribed Lyrica for his back pain. Within 3 weeks he was taken to the ER with delirium and a temperature of 87. His neurologist called to see why he had missed an appointment. I explained the situation and her comment was, “you never give a Parkinson’s patient Lyrica, because it can do such strange things”. So I blame the medical professionals. In those 5 yrs, Hugh has had a feeding tube, rehab assisted living, a collapse, another feeding tube, rehab and now nursing home. He is 85 and his body cannt take much more.
