Sometimes my husband just walks away or pulls me out of a store. I don't know if it is old age or Parkinson's but I am told I have done some bold things. Has any other Caregiver noticed this about those of us with Parkinson's?
Let me share with you an example over the past five years. I was in a Barnes & Noble bookstore sitting on a stool and looking at WWII books. For 20 minutes I listened to these two old flannel shirt, bib overalls 80 year old men discuss politics. I am not sure where they get their information or if aliens filled their heads when they were beamed up but I couldn't take it anymore. I got up walked around the bookshelf and asked these men where they get their information from? They looked at each other and looked at me as if I had a third eye and said, "oh here and there" I then told them I could care less about their political party but if the best they could tell me was "here and there"
I suggested they buy a few books (Left & Right) listen to both side and at least know something about what they are talking about, or they should stay home and not vote. Because without the correct information to make an informed decision, they have no business in the voting booth.
Until then, I had no idea how fast Doug could walk dragging me behind him. When we got out to the car, he asked "Debbie what's the matter with you?" I thought about it for a minute and said, " I don't know but let me go ask those two old guys, they seem to have all the answers."
