Does your pain and limitations because of your pain ever make you feel just useless? I guess I did not fully explain what the doctor told me because I was so upset with mom.

Now my husband gets confused constantly.
Such as believing we have to meet someone, or go somewhere. No clear days. Do you believe it is part of his dementia or part of his Parkinsons? He has both for 9 years.
