Taking a breather today. Rocky is in hospital for observation following chemical imbalances due to conflicting medicines. Some of the symptoms caused by a mild panic attack. Rocky is getting used to the idea of having Parkinson's Disease. This is an early diagnosis and the new meds are seeking a balance with Rocky's other medications.
Meanwhile, we study the disease profile for what to expect in the future. So far it is mostly benign. Disease onset after 70 years of age is a good sign the forward progress of Parkinson's will be slow and gradual. For now, exercise routines are advised. Rocky is doing that at the local park district recreation center and walking the dog.
Willow - the dog - sets the pace. If she thinks the walker is up to it, she leads a feisty path; if she thinks you are lame and pathetic, the pace is a mild foray to the closest bushes for a quick pee and poop. Then back indoors. What a good dog! So cooperative and adaptive!!
Rocky should come home today without further complications. Peace to you all.
