Parkinson's and movement

Good Morning!

The day after the 4th July!  We went to the movies yesterday to see White House Down.  It was a funny movie.  Anyway, we got free tickets because Wayne is a veteran!  Can't get better than that.  We enjoyed the movie but the weird thing is that it was funny when it was all about killing and taking the White House down.  I would give it 4stars at least but I heard it isn't getting good reviews.

I never really talked about Wayne's problem with the Parkinson's.  During the day, you can see his left arm shaking a lot (more than the right), but at night seems to be when it is its worse.  He jumps around in bed ...well, his whole body moves and sometimes he falls out of bed because of it.  He also seems to have violent dreams but he doesn't usually remember them.  Sometimes I will touch him or hug him and it calms him down.  I believe this is why the eye doctor was concerned about surgery on his eye because he can move easily without even realizing it.  There have been times when he almost hit me during his dream.  He doesn't realize he is doing this of course.  I usually am half awake and will calm him down in hopes that dream goes away.  If any of you have experienced similar things like this, I welcome your comments.

Have a good day!
