PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

3. "RE: Bob Hoskins (71)" |
I'll jump up on my soapbox for a bit on this one.Pneumonia is one of the biggest concerns for all PD patients. Parkinsons by itself doesn't kill. Pneumonia, choking & strangling, falls because of poor balance and "freezing" and other related problems do. My DH & I participated in a PD research project this month by donating blood for a new research project. They needed blood from people who do not have neurological diseases as well so his doctor used both of us. I wear a bracelet every day "WHATEVER IT TAKES TO BEAT PARKINSON'S" . DH had surgery Wednesday a week ago to cut a muscle in his throat to allow food to move down past a sphincter in the esophagus. He had to stay over 2 nights. On Friday morning, he drank some broth and immediately got strangled. The doctor said swelling might have caused it. By Tuesday this week, he has been able to eat soft foods without getting strangled. He had another barium swallow test yesterday that showed the food & drink moving past the previously obstructed point. He will have to eat very slowly and swallow several times for every bite of food he takes. He won't be able to consume enough food by mouth to maintain, so he'll rely on the PEG for nutrition. But being able to eat a bit of food for pleasure will be wonderful. Parkinson's Disease brings daily challenges for the patient and for the caregiver. PD patients often don't feel comfortable around a lot of people because people do not understand what they see. If someone stops in front of you and just seems to stand there? Please don't get upset and tell them to move; they may have 'frozen' and are doing their best to get their brain to signal their feet to move. If you see a person drooling, please understand that he or she has no control over it and will most likely have a handkerchief or napkin to use. The voice may be low and difficult to hear; handwriting is very small and cramped. I ask that you be kind and teach others to be kind and understanding as well. And? if you have a few $$ to spare and want to donate to a worthy cause, Parkinson's Disease research is a great one. There is no cure for PD. At this time, only the symptoms can be treated. Thank you RTVW friends.

I think he has kicked the pneumonia out. He wants to eat or drink something so bad! But he's afraid of getting pneumonia again. He has sipped a little juice; very carefully and successfully.
