<![CDATA[A bit of a drive]]>We were on our way to the Philadelphia airport.
Bob was driving. At a point in eight lanes with the signs directing traffic on Interstate 95, 295, 495, plus a couple of state routes Bob froze. It is something Parkinson's patients do. He had very little muscle control. He could not communicate. Thought he was saying he needed to poop. But realized something was wrong. Got him to the shoulder and stopped. Getting out of the driver's seat and around the car was a big struggle for him. . Big trucks inches away at speed. Got behind the wheel, took an exit, and found a road into corn fields where he could pee.
Bob's driving with me as a passenger will be severely curtailed.
Knew something like that could happen, but he has been doing very well.
