Yes, It seems to be a pattern. My spouse has seizures which keeps him from doing some rehab.He has been using his walker more. He is able to walk freely at home. Following directions is not easy for him to understand. Since Parkininson's is a movement disorder most patients and or family members get frustrated for the fear of falling. Actually , my spouse fell on our driveway. He did not want to wait to get in the garage where the floor is flat. I think he forgets what he is able to do and what he cannot. He of course is in end stage Parkinsons. Limited things that he can or cannot do anymore has been hard for him. He tells me " I want to be normal again". I just try to keep him positive or suggest something like a movie or a puzzle, cards, etc. That does not always work. Keep a dairy of things that stick out to you and or/changes that concern you. Stay positive, which is exhausting and overwhelming at times. If you need a good cry..do so. Allow yourself to be whatever emotion you have and by all means take care of yourself..You matter too.🫂💞

Sorry about each of your husbands. I'm not a doctor, but I'm just checking that they have tried a medication like requip along with L/C? It helps me with motor functions every day. (Sorry if this is repetitive.)
