Hi. One of the great frustrations that I have as
the daughter of someone with PD, is how you deal when
your loved one doesn't do something that is medically
advised. For example, my father is supposed to double
swallow when he eats and periodcially cough to remove the
possibility of aspiration. However, when he is reminded
(particularly by my poor mother) he sometimes becomes annoyed
at the person doing the reminding. I wonder if he
realizes that he is not the only one living with the
consequences of PD. I'm sure that it is frustrating for him,
but it is also frustrating for us-how do you all
deal?
