I wish I knew how to anticipate his needs. I am getting nervous, scared, and anxious. He is trying so hard to be strong, but....well, I am sure you understand.
He is coughing more and moving a lot less. He fell twice this weekend. Both times I was walking with him for support, but the first time he completely caught me off guard and we fell together. The second time, I was able to support him.
My biggest concern now is how hunched over he gets, especially when he is tired. It is so sad. I am thinking it is time for a hospital bed so that he can more easily get in and out of bed, but also so he can sleep with a little incline. The last time we talked about it, he was against it. He doesn't want to because then we won't be able to sleep together. I told him that a smaller bed wouldn't be a problem for me.
I guess I don't know what I am asking. Maybe, just looking for a shoulder... or help in trying to anticipate what comes next?
ARGH. Sorry not very happy or uplifting this morning. Just hate this.
