I'm new to this forum and I was wondering if anyone else has had to resort to putting their PAL in a nursing home? My husband, Alan, was diagnosed in June of 03. The disease has progressed to the point where he can no longer do anything except blink his eyes and nod his head. He used to weigh about 230 lbs and now weighs 105 lbs. I'm really broken up and relieved at the same time. I recently had a nervous break down and the doctor said that it will probably take years for me to recover. I feel like all of the decisions that I've made over the last 3 years have been mistakes. I know that I'm not a failure and I don't really feel guilty because I was completely on my own as a caregiver. Anyway, please respond if you are in a similar situation. Regards, Shari
