Hi all,
My husband could not eat his dinner tonight, he could not get that damned spoon to his mouth. He tried, and tried, and tried. And got frustrated, frustrated and yup, you guessed it, more frustrated.
He said months ago 'when I can't feed myself anymore, no one is going to to do it for me!'
And he would not let me help him tonight...
I asked a few times it only got him more frustrated.
He finally just asked me to throw it out.
He has said he will not have a peg tube, will not take any meds, will not drink shakes I make him, no vent.
He says it will play out like it's going to.
I'm scared.
I feel helpless.
I feel like I am losing him too fast.
I am afraid he will let himself starve to death.
I don't know what to do.
