Mr. T was worried too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the question that followed was always the same:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cCan I still live normally?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Early Signs at Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At home, the changes were subtle at first, but gradually began to affect his confidence and independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. T noticed his walking had changed. His steps became smaller, slower and more shuffling. What used to be a normal walk around the house now required more effort and focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning also became a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he tried to change direction, his body felt stiff and slow, almost like it could not respond immediately.
