Pete...your a hero to many. Thank you so much for giving us all insight to what is happening to both you and your wife on this beastly journey. The fact that your going through so much yet your still here sharing with the hopes of helping others speaks volumes about you as a human being. Thank you Pete. Bless you.
Thinking of you Pete and thankful for all your posts in this forum - many things you wrote in the past helped me when my PALS was here. Virtual hugs to you.
general update. when i started this thread i could still talk in spurts and i could transfer easily. now i cannot get more than a whisper out - there is not enough breath. transfering is extremely difficult. any movement including trying to go to the bathroom causes me to sweat like i just ran 20 miles and have less breath than sitting still does-i almost go into air panic each time. what is the most weird is that my mind keeps working although fuzzier with some confusion. i still smile at times. people seem to think i am near the end and my body appears to confirm it but my mind keeps going. i dont like eating anymore but force myself to have a little lunchmeat and cottage cheese twice a day. my wife still makes me three different "health drinks" and i drink what i can. i also cry at almost anything.
Pete, hugs and prayers for you. You are very strong to keep updating here. Thank you for giving us some insight to what you are experiencing. Holding you both across the miles
Hugs and prayers for you and your wife Pete. They gave my father tons of morphine and Ativan for his air hunger. Hospice was finally able to get him calmed down with it.
