Good morning everyone. We have our second clinic visit next Friday (was supposed to be in February but was moved up due to what seems like quicker progression).
I was wondering if there were any questions I should be thinking of. I go with a list to ensure we get as much info as possible but it's overwhelming with the speed-dating approach.
Currently my concern is that my dad may have the beginnings of leg weakness. Would the docs advise when it's time to start looking into a wheelchair to be ready for when you need it or any changes that need to be made at home to accommodate progression of muscle weakness? Not sure what I should ask around this. As a side note, both of my parents are in denial that things are changing. He fell twice in one day but it was due to the rug, etc. My brother has noticed that he seems weaker when walking and that he's not picking up his feet enough and may trip soon.
Thanks!
