Thanks KTwo! Sorry for the late reply - I took some time off PD for a few days. So, yes, I have joined a support group and, obviously, this online group. That has helped. As for exercise, he does not like to leave the house. There is a very good program on YouTube entitled “It’s Your Choice”. He does the warm-up section daily and whenever I can, I accompany him (it’s good for me too 😊). Bottom line, I am getting the hang of this thing and getting better at navigating through the frustrations and the irritating mannerisms of his changing personality due to his PD. That is what I would wish him to do were I in his place.

There are caregiver support groups offered by Senior centers. Maybe you can find a Parkinson’s support group, too. Make sure you find time and space to do something for yourself. If your well runs dry there will be nothing left for you to offer your spouse. Talking with other caregivers will keep you sane and let you understand your experiences are shared. Is he in an exercise program?
