Good luck Gus…you deserve it.
I have found the new forum very hard to use…
My husband has deteriorated very rapidly and has been in hospital for nearly 6 months.
We have been told he has to go into a nursing home as he can’t be looked after with a care package at home…his PD problems are complex and untreatable.
We are all heartbroken…we have been together for 56 years.
Now struggling to get CHC funded care and cope with being apart.
I have had so much support from the old forum and wish you all many years of good health.
I send you all my love.

Hi there so sorry to hear about your husband
I was Glasgow Girl on the old forum.
Yes it was so much easier to use. I don’t know how many posts I have keyed only to see it dissapear.
Thinking of you and hoping you get things sorted. Which I know won’t be easy.

Well glad that’s over pdsw came and filled pip forms in. So there go registered post tomorrow.love the free evenlope they supply ,You couldn’t fit a kit Kat in let alone extra evidence to support you claim. So let’s wait and see what happens
Hi goldengirl, I am so sorry to hear that hubby is now confined to hospital. There is not much anyone can say to console you at this time, after being together for all that time and caring for him, you must feel so lost. All I can say is find the strength back you have had all the time he was still at home and keep visiting him in hospital, as I’m sure he still needs your support and you need him to be there for you. Be brave and keep posting in case you need to find comfort from the forum at any time, we will be here to support you and talk to you about anything. So take care, you have had so much to cope with and if we can help support you in any way we will

Nice words sheffy
Hi Sheffy and Gus
Your kind words are a great comfort.
Life is pretty awful…things have changed so much in the last 6 months.
My husband has gone from driving, shopping, cooking ,playing bowls, socialising…to being unable to walk or stand, hallucinating, constant urine infections,confused.
We have found a lovely nursing home nearer home and are hoping he can move at the weekend.
We are fighting to get funding…yet another nightmare…
At the moment he is in hospital with an infection of unknown origin having tests.
After 56 years together it is so hard to accept and we are heartbroken.
The forum is so hard to use with all the symbols etc but I will try to keep in touch.
Love and thanks for being there

Hi goldengirl, you are welcome, all we can do is wait when you are ready to feel able to need to contact anyone on here. Parkinsons is a terrible disease and all that comes with it as you know and is so debilitating when it slowly comes to an end. I wish you all the strength you have to guide you on.
