get your old self back

I couldn't slow his Parkinson's down. But I could make sure he wasn't fighting it on an empty tank. My husband Robert was diagnosed at 63. He was still working. Still coaching our grandson's little league team on Saturdays. Still the person everyone in our neighborhood called when they needed a hand with something. Parkinson's didn't care about any of that. The first two years, we were in survival mode. Appointments. Adjusting medications. Learning what his new normal looked like. I became his scheduler, his researcher, his second memory. I didn't sleep well. I don't think either of us did. By year three, I noticed something beyond the Parkinson's symptoms — something underneath them. He was exhausted in a way that sleep wasn't fixing. He was losing weight without trying. He had no appetite. He was pale in a way his doctors kept noting but we never quite addressed directly. He was depleted — and between the disease and his medications, his body wasn't absorbing and holding onto what it needed. I started researching nutritional support for Parkinson's patients. I read studies. I joined online caregiver groups where other spouses were asking the same desperate late-night questions I was asking. And I kept seeing Xara 10-in-1 mentioned — a supplement formulated with 10 nutrients: antioxidants, neuroprotective compounds, vitamins and minerals specifically relevant to what Parkinson's patients commonly lack. I ordered it without telling him. I know him — if I made it a big thing, he'd resist it. So I just started putting it next to his morning orange juice. He noticed after three days and asked what it was. I said, "Something to help your body keep up with you." He took it without another word. That's Robert. Three months later, his appetite was better. His color was better. He told his neurologist he'd been feeling "less run down" — and his neurologist, to my surprise, said that nutritional support was something she wished more of her patients took seriously. He coached little league again this spring. Sat in a folding chair on the sideline instead of standing like he used to — but he was there. Yelling at the right moments. Knowing every kid's name. Being Robert. I'm not naive. I know where this road goes. Every Parkinson's caregiver does. We hold that knowledge in a quiet place and we just keep moving. But I also know that Robert's body is getting 10 things every morning that it wasn't getting before. And on the days when everything else feels beyond my control, that one small act — putting that supplement next to his orange juice — feels like love in the only form I have left to give.
