I just saw my ex-BIL on Friday. He has had Parkinson's disease for
several years now and is not doing well. I had not seen him for maybe 3
years, I was surprised at the decline. He's been through all the
treatments but comes a point where nothing really works anymore. He was
golfing up until a coupla years ago, then got into something called
pickle ball, but alas that is now passed. The physical activity really
did help a lot with his movement and balance and such for quite some
time. He is having much harder time getting around even with the drugs
and a deep-brain stimulator and almost everything that he has tried, and
he just wears out very quickly now. His cognition is declining now
too. He had to move into an assisted living center a few weeks ago as
he was getting to be a bit much to leave at home alone, and for the
family to care for. I think he is maybe 58 or so now. It is a horrible
disease. I'm not sure how much time he will have left, he has indicated
he does not want to get to the point of being a veg and has assessed
alternatives to that end.

There is an interesting Art of Manliness podcast with a guy who is using boxing
training to treat Parkinson's. His results are astonishing and it's a really
good interview.
