Well, I know I haven't been writing much lately but so much has been going on. I have Carpal tunnel in both wrists: Moderate to Severe. I am going for an MRI in the AM to R/O a herniated disc in my neck ( as both of my hands are numb). Now to get on with my Dad. As I am sure you all know that both of my parents live with me and they both have Parkinson's disease (or so we thought). My Dad has been falling much, much more than usual. Last week was crazy with the falling down (keep in mind he is on Hospice care in my Home); I decided to contact the nurse that comes to see him as on Sun. he couldn't even stand up his right ankle and left side of his back was really hurting bad. We all thought it was him falling (possible fracture). Well today the Neurologist called me and told me he doesn't think my Dad has Parkinson's that he thinks he has "Progressive Supranuclear Palsy" which is often mistaken for Parkinson's. As of right now it is a waiting game. We don't know if the ankle is fractured or anything else. So, if you would all be so kind as to send a prayer his way I would TRULY Appreciate it. God Bless to all, Dorothy in NY

My prayers are with you Dorothy.
:::sending lots of good thoughts your father's way that he gets an accurate diagnosis & the best treatment possible:::
Lots of healing thoughts for you, too. I was miserable with carpal tunnel in (thankfully only) one wrist several years ago. If flares up just often enough to remind me to quit doing the wrong things that aggravate it.
Keep us posted.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
my heart goes out to you and your dad i will be praying for him and as well the family..we have something in common..my dad is on Hospice as well and has been given 6 months to live..he is so depressed and his conditions dont help..he has congestive heart failure and cancer and needs a new heart and lung..his kidneys are shutting down yet he keeps fighting...he has just gotten on hospice just this month so its all new to us but we know what to expect.. You have my deepest wishes cause being the caretaker of both parents is something i cant even imagine..wow i appauld you....we live out of state so hubbys sister takes care of our dad but he is still living on his own although social services thinks he shouldnt..he is a very proud and stubborn man and says he wont leave his home until he cant no longer take care of himself..they just revoked his license and he is devasted..its so hard to see him suffer and im sure you know what im talking about.. PRAYERS GOING YOUR WAY and please keep us posted... cathy in arizona

Cathy, prayers going your way to for your dad. My dad too is getting on and has some health probs - nearly 82 and I am sure he won't leave his home either if it came to that. I know what you mean about seeing them suffer. It breaks my heart, and I am on the other side of the world.
{{{ HUGs to both from Australia too}}}}}

I know what you're going through, my dad had Parkinson's Syndrome and was falling alot. After my mom died he went downhill quick. I hope you have a great support system holding you up. Now is the time to ask all those questions about family history etc.. As I didn't cause I was in denial and kept putting it off. Take as many notes as you can. I pray the Lord gives you courage and stamina to deal with all the challenges you are facing. Hilda
Dorothy I am so sorry to hear that physical maladies are still TRYING to get the best of YOU and your dear family.
Prayers and thoughts going out fo you as always!!!
(((BIG HUGS!!))) and God Bless
