Since the last post we sold Bill's car and he self limits his driving. Maybe to get gas or run a local errand. When it comes time to stop his driving, I will involve his neurologist since Bill values his opinion.

I am still driving around the small town in which I live but not to the city an hour away. I will sell my car when no longer able or allowed to drive and use the money to buy a motorised scooter. My town is fairly flat so getting around will not be difficult. I have told my family my plans and they agree it will be best,. ( I am 78years)

Hello Anthony, My husbands doctor told him to stop driving as PD causes you not to be able to judge distance. He quit fairly soon as he didn't want to have an accident.

I drive around town and short trips out of town no more than 30 minutes away. My husband drives the long distances.
