So Recently My Dad Started Fidgeting With His Hands Like He's Wrapping Up An Invisible String. Has Anyone Else Encountered This?

@A myALZteam Member, when my husband started fidgeting, I bought him a “Balmy Drum”. I wish I could upload the video of him playing this beautifully sounding small metal instrument. It’s such a peaceful sound. Now, when he starts incessant tapping, I ask him to play and it calms us both.
