My dad has either shy dragers or Parkinson's with dementia. Yesterday he went to the rehabilitation center for physical therapy. He came home so depressed and would not talk and we could not figure out what was wrong. Finally, he told us that he saw what he was going to become. He was crying. I am so worried about him now. I wish we would not have sent him to physical therapy. We did not think about him seeing the people with his same illness that are more advanced. He made the connection and now we just don't know what to do. Does anyone have any advise on how to help him? How do we deal with this? At least before he was not aware of exactly what was going to happen. I told him not to let it get to him that everybody is different and he could die of old age before deteriorating to that level. I told him look at me the doctors thought I was dead and I survived liver and kidney failure. It just doesn't seem to be helping much. Any advise would be much appreciated.
