Hello @tsc,
Thanks for sharing your experience. My husband has progressed beyond the point your husband is at, he's not able to dress himself, he once ate a fairly balanced diet, but now has a few nonmeat items he will eat. He once was one who could build and repair just about anything, now all he can do is take things apart. He showered every day, was clean shaven, wore clean clothes, had haircuts, and took pride in his appearance. All that has changed to become like living with a stubborn spoiled child that won't budge or has a tantrum to get him to allow anyone to touch or help him with hygiene. It's all challenging for sure and requires lots of patience, endurance and love.

Hi @norram, my husband is easy most of the time, for now. He does have difficulties with people who hurt him or want him to do things he doesn't want to do - doctors, the dentist, even physical therapists.
You need endless stores of patuence, for sure.
It sounds like taking him to get treatment would be so difficult and disruptive. Have you decided anything yet?
