My mother developed Parkinson's 10 years ago. It affected her legs with walking. Eventually she used a walker, then a wheelchair. Her mind was affected, but she always knew me. Medications helped with the Parkinson's, but overloaded her brain. She then needed medications for the hallucinations.
Mom passed away 11/20/2019 at home in her sleep.
