So pleased there is some improvement in Angela's health. It must be a great relief to both of you. The epilectic type of attacks were just that but not actual epilepsy. All Angela's health problems since then have been the meds. She can now walk a little with someone behind her giving confidence (so important). If this continues then we c an return to trips outside the house in her wheelchair to the lake and the GR36.

Such good news - thank you for the update; you must both be feeling optimistic about going outdoors together. Thanks Gigi, Everyone's experience is of course anecdotal but relevant. My advice is question everything, if you think a med. or treatment is negative or not effective don't accept it and never assume that geriatric care is anywhere near what it should be. Where patients are mobile they must be 'encouraged' to take as much exercise as possible. The last 4 years could and should have been totally different for Angela. The only treatment Angela has now is a laxative and she wouldn't need that if she was more active. Exercise is sadly something that far too many have neglected or abandoned long ago, that was not the case for Angela or myself. I'm 79 in October and notwithstanding having to do all the physical work in the house and the garden I try to walk at least 6K per day. Ironically it's my legs that I have a problem with. I have to arrange two RDVS with a cardiologist and an angiologist. I was so looking forward to getting back into running when I had 2 stents fitted in my right leg, my legs actually wanted to run but slowly that receded. Fingers crossed that problem can be fixed. Every region in France has local walking/randonnee clubs - check them out. Walking is one of the best ways to keep fit and I think most of us live in attractive parts of France - bon route.
