Nothing like being kicked when you're down

So we had the neuro-psych appointment last week to get the next kick in the guts. Apparenlty mum is now diagnosed as having Parkinson's Disease as well as Alzheimer's. They've started her on a parkinson's drug to stop / slow the tremors. I really don't have much to say about this. It's pretty horrible as far as diagnoses and prognoses go. I know she has some difficult decisions to make, but I fear she is no longer in an emotional state to even make those decision. Her depression over this, although very understandable, has made her un-willing to even bother to make the tough decisions, and stand up for herself if her wishes are different of those of dad. So there we are. That waiting game has begun. We just wait until one or the other completely destroys her life, and try and encourage her to live as much as she can now and screw the future because the future looks for her to be well and truly sucky!
