[quote=Anonymous]My dad's gait was off, he was doing the classic shuffling. His orthopedic surgeon was the one who recommended seeing a neurologist when he noted it during a follow up appt. I'm glad he's going for further testing. As for ways to handle things ...support groups were key for my mom (he was diagnosed when I was 18). Therapy if you can manage it, there are online options too. People often think the stages of grief are just about death. They aren't. You're going to be angry at him sometimes even though the rational side of you knows it isn't his fault. You're going to be angry at friends who don't have these issues. Building yourself a support network is so so important and with people who can share in your experience is even more critical. My mom is still very close to the women in her support group, even though my dad passed 3 years ago. [/quote]
