When I saw the neurologist Henry Porter early last month, he said I was in good shape for a 78 year old guy with Parkinsons. He put me on a couple of vitamins which I've been taking, and which unfortunately are not helping.
The difficulty walking is becoming worse every day and the hand tremors more noticeable. Meanwhile the clumsiness and dropping things is comical.
I checked out nursing homes around here and they're pricey with an average of $2500 monthly. I bring in $1400 on SS so the only way that would work is to get on Disability.
So, tomorrow I'm walking (if you can call it that) downtown to the SS office and see what my options are.
I have decided to stay in Pensacola because my doctors are here and I have a Florida ID. Shelby is also here, and hopefully we can work our issues out down the road. In the meantime I have thirty days to find a solution.
