MDJunction to me

Claire138"It's been a year since I joined the Parkinson's Disease Support Group on MDJunction and all I can say is thank you all for the support, compassion and friendship I've received and been able to give as well. It was a lonely night when I came upon this site, but the nights aren't that lonely anymore...
With gratitude to all...

Thank you all for your help. Unfortunately my dad is in hospice now and is slowly making his journey to be with God. It's very hard to watch him go. This is a horrible disease. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I know it seems impossible but take time to care for yourself. This can take a longer time than people realize and I know it's exhausting for you.

He's getting the care he needs.

Hi Wmn!!!! I love this group they are wonderful & I consider them a supportive family even though my husband threw me under the bus & told me to pack up after he got a new liver after having end stage cirrohsis and hepo renal failure. All I can say is that it is tough, but I always have faith in God even now that Im in IL & my husband is in Az letting his mom spoil him forgive me Im still poed & angry!!!! Have faith in God, ask questions, and just tell yr dad that you are there even though he may not realize it. My best to you & Hugs!!!! Elizabeth
May God grant you Peace!!! Stay Strong!!! Sometimes life is unfair and bad things happen to good people in my case all too often dont give up, have courage, have faith, and rely on God!!!!

Thanks to all. My mom just called the hospice. His bp was 132/61??? what is that about? it has been dropping and today it is up. She is so happy and I feel it doesn't mean anything. Has anyone ever experienced something like this with a loved one? Is he in pain cuz he won't admit he is. Is he having that last burst of energy they talk about?

what a roller coaster ride.

No one can say for certain, wmn. Many persons start with hospice and pass quickly. Some stay around weeks or months. Some literally are better and come off hospice care. Praying your father does not feel pain. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Let your mom have hope, while she can.

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I cannot, and the Wisdom to know the difference.

I am not a medical provider. Think of me as another mom, with loving, caring wisdom!
