I dislike being negative and all doom and gloom, but the issue we've found with texting or even typing on a regular keyboard is that by the time the diskinesia/Sinemet cycle is too bad the hands are too uncoordinated to type. We do a lot with Thumbs up/Thumbs down, while I run down a list of what I think he wants. Eventually, I will be running down the alphabet, waiting for a squeeze on my hand at the right letter. At this point, his handwriting is marginally more legible than his speech is understandable.

I do thank you, Harry for the info on tools helping. It's something to think about while I duck wildly swinging power tools. See 'determined' moods, above.
