That's very interesting about geriatrician treating PD, relevant for a relative of mine. Who also has cancer poor lady. So a geriatrician review might be a thought if polypharmacy becomes an issue even though she's only in her 60s.

This fellow has an interest in PD. Not all geriatricians do. however it is not uncommon for their patients to have PD.

Me too! Although I did once have a doctor greet me with “oh, so you’re a real doctor then!”

Medical practitioners charge “real doctors” more.

Ps: explain to me why my physio now calls himself doctor and has doubled his hourly fee?

I increased my meds 4 days ago and walking more. Will make 10000 steps for the week for the first time since the fall.
Thigh pain getting a little better.
Hopefully works on the bladder soon.

You’ve got rocks in your head (or brain at least)

100% this conversation is needed. One good outcome of the stroke treatment is that mum is largely in possession of her mental faculties and I think would be open to reviewing some of the decision made along the way for future decisions that will need to be made.

I am also going to insist that she finalises her Advanced Care Plan - we were booked in for GP sign off (compulsory in the ACT) 2 days after she had her stroke and so never got to do it, so she still does not have one in place.

I cannot help but observe it is you and your husband who are currently doing all the heavy lifting right now..look after yourselves too
