Salome G.-I.: Well, you don't know what will happen when you get older, do you? There are developments anyway and you change. But actually he's more of a cheerful, upbeat person who's always in a good mood. That was like a personality change. And [...] there are also personality changes with age, you change. Interviewer: Yes, of course. We develop as a person. Salome G.-I.: We develop. But with Parkinson's you never know whether it is a personality change due to the disease or whether it is just the normal course of life of getting older. Interviewer: But then you would say that your husband's personality changed somehow during the disease. Salome G.-I.: I would say yes. Interviewer: Can you give an example? Salome G.-I.: That is still a bit difficult for me. Yes, in the last few years I had the feeling that he was somehow isolating himself. That he is like in a cage with his illness. That I somehow have the feeling that I can't get as close to him as I used to. That there's like a Parkinson's wall between us.
