My father was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease about three years ago,
which has progressed relatively rapidly since then (he is by no means a
young chap, he still had it in his 50s when I came about by chance lol).
He had a neck and back surgery about a year and a half before his
diagnosis and he never really healed all that well after his back
surgery. At this stage he is wheelchair bound, has a hard time forming
words and talking, dementia is kicking in more and more every day,
and he can't care for himself at all anymore. FH and I set our date for
next May to give us time to plan and save, and it was even his idea to
have it in St. Louis because my dad wouldn't have to travel. I'm having a
hard time knowing where to start to plan because I don't know what his
state of health will be in next year, and it just sucks more than
anything to know that my dad might not be able to celebrate this with
us.
Has anybody else gone through this? Any advice?
