So my Dad has Parkinsons for the past 5 or so years. He's been on medication from the VA for this and that. He's slowly deteriorating.
Mom took him to the hospital yesterday for (get this), his heart rate was beating 150 per minute, blood pressure was 247/120. He was shaking really bad (his hand normally doesn't shake that bad.. not like MJ fox or what not).
His motor skills are going to crap. His mind is going too. It just sucks to see him like this. He was in the hospital 6-7 months ago for LOW blood pressure and low heart rate. Now it's sky rocketed.
Fuck! why can't people just die of old age instead of this agonizing shit! My grandma is going to be 90 on Thursday, smokes Pall Mall Non filters since she was 20 and has never missed a beat.
