Paul and Me

Paul and Me tells of the effect of not one but two devastating, life-changing diseases of Parkinson's and dementia. It follows their progression on his life and his sister's life, and his sister who was forever changed too. It takes us from the beginning diagnosis to the many trials and tribulations of a ten-year journey to the very, very silent end--though, at times, an amusing but always a loving journey. Going from living alone in a two-story house to an unexpected diagnosis, to a rehabilitation facility, to an assisted-living facility, to a nursing home, and, finally, to hospice care was a long journey for Paul. Other family members and the author were forever changed by what seemed at times a never-ending journey.
