Ken was the patient today, an appointment to find out whether or not he has Parkinson's Disease. Our Internist in Mississippi suggest that, as Ken has some symptoms of Parkinson's, he should be evaluated by a neurologist. We decided to have him see our old friend Dr. Stotz in Fredericksburg. It was a wise choice. Ken saw the good doctor promptly at 9:00 and by 10:15 we were leaving the drug store with the new prescription. Small cities are wonderful, especially when the doctor is competent..
Ken does not have Parkinson's Disease. But he has congenital symptoms, some similar to Parkinson's. The new medication should help, at least for the balance and gait. Next they will discuss the tremor when we return in two weeks. And no sign of any senility, which we already knew but is nice to be told. Dr. Stotz though that I was doing very well indeed. We knew that too.
Dr. Stotz was amused by our life style and called us high class vagabonds. It seemed to fit and we all laughed.
