Dear Benie -- Don't feel uncomfortable about going to the cemetery. Jimmy was cremated and as he was a cancer patient, we had discussed what he would want done with his ashes. He told me that he wanted to stay here in CA with me. He has 2 grown children from his 1st marriage. His son wanted the ashes buried and for him to have a tombstone -- the whole works. I knew it was against Jim's wishes, but I didn't want his son to be left out of the mix. I told his son if he wanted the tombstone, that was ok, but I didn't want anything to do with it. In my heart, I feel Jim is still here with me in CA. His ashes and "remains" may be buried out East, but his spirit and soul remains with me every single day. I believe he is still here watching over me and guiding me. That's just what I believe. Hugs to you, bsbrm/barbara

Close Parkinson's Disease
I'm the caretaker for my husband who has had Parkinsons for 7 yrs. The worst part is his ridgitity, tremor in his one hand,getting out of bed or a chair now his speech is affected.
Treatments
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- Yes, I find physical therapy helps with the stiffness. Rides the stationary bike and they apply moist heat and massage, twice a week.
- Sinemet Working / Worked
- Has been on it for a few years. So far so good.
Open Caregivers
I am my husband's caregiver. He has mild dementia and Parkinsons.
Open Dizziness & Vertigo
My husband gets very dizzy when just getting out of chair or even at times just standing. The ENT says he has vertigo. He has an appointment with a balance therapist who specializes in Vertigo. I know someone who was completely cured. Hope it works for my husband.
