Our mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease a number of years ago. She recently died at the age of 89, from the devastating effects of this misunderstood disease. Her symptoms from what she described early on was her “stutter step”. She had to stop and think about moving one foot and then the other, and try as best she could, not to shake her leg! Her hands would shake holding her coffee cup in different positions! Finally, hallucinations, dementia, cognitive issues, speech, and immobility claimed our most precious mother!
