So sorry to hear about your mother. How old is she? Since she is still able to walk -even with occassional cane etc - she is really doing good. I still walk around but have lost the bladder.

I am a strong voice in advocating for EXCERCISE - walking the block numerous times a day has "greatly" helped me.

As for the meds and affects - and since your father is asking for your help - why not go and talk to her doctor with your parents so you can ask him your very good questions.

He knows her health best.

Just may little suggestion for what its worth.

Lets us know the answers to these questions - I'd like to know the answers too.
