My father is 73 years and he himself is pretty sure that he is developing parkinsons disease. He has problems when he is eating or drinking. We ate at a mexican restaurant a few weeks ago and and he could barely fill up his fajita because his arm was shaking and he could not control his fork. Like I said, my father knows what is happening. My grandmother had the same thing. He says that he is scared of the medicine he will be given because it made his mother unable to walk. I tell him that that was more likely just the disease that was not treated properly and not the medicine, plus that was a long time ago. I am in my early twenties, and my husband is in the us army. We just moved to fl, leaving my my father in tn. I have a brother who is still in college there and he checks in on dad, but he will be graduating in year and moving away. It feels weird to be so young and have to deal with this, but it has to be done. I love my father. My husband and I have talked, and he has no problem with me inviting my father to come live with us here. But I still have to figure out how to get him to see a doctor, and for a man who has lived in the same town for 70 years, I do not know how I am going to convince him to move to another state. I guess I am just asking for some advice from someone who has dealt with this before. I have done research, but that gets me no where with my father. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
