Clever answer!
Hopefully, It won't have a seat at the table. It's always standing in line, has a ticket to the party, and just waiting for It's opportunity to join the feast.
Most of the time, the party ends before it gets in the door.
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member - not everyone gets dementia and the extent of it really varies when it does happen. The stages seem to be based on how much assistance a person needs in their daily life. A person with mild dementia could be in any stage, if they can basically take care of themselves, but someone with bad dementia would more likely be in stages 3-5

Do most Parkinson's patients eventually get dementia?
My husband was diagnosed with Parkinsons dementia (PHDD) does any one else have this diagnosis ?
