My dad is on a research program where they are getting medicine through a pump providing a continuous dose rather than taking medication 10 times a day and it is great.
That sounds awesome! There was amazing research going on when I was specifically working with people with Parkinson's, and that was 15 years ago, so I can only imagine what progress has been made in the interim. I was also so impressed by the resilience of those people (and their partners!) and their innovation in finding practical solutions to their issues and ways of continuing to do things that bring them joy. More power to your dad!

It is just such a fucked up disease :(

Tbh it feels like I got my dad back as he does not seem to have those shakes and walking issues as much anymore.
He loves his bike and his ability to get around town now that he does not feel confident in a car anymore. My mum calls me once in a while when he has gotten back from a bike ride all gitty and chuffed.
