Thanks so much. So far, it is just day by day. His behavior patterns change a lot. He does not seem to be in a lot of pain which is good. He is still walking around a little bit from the living room to the kitchen where he still makes himself coffee and something to eat. He is involved with hospice now which I am thankful for. They come twice a week, check his vitals, meds and overall well being. He still falls once in awhile, but so far has not gotten hurt. But the problem is that he continues to take twice the meds that hospice is giving him. As they keep a close on his pills, they notice that he is taking too many, So, they are bringing a lockbox with them on Monday and all his daily meds will in some kind of sleeve. Each sleeve will hold all the pills he needs for that day. I have to keep the key so he won't get into it and take more than what he needs. I don't relish being the keeper of the keys because I know he will bug me for more pills and I will be the bad guy because I can't give him any more. I forsee a problem with this. He has always taken pain meds and if his prescription ran out, he would buy more from someone. But we will see how this works. I am doing fine except I got diagnosed with Bells Palsy which can be brought on by stress among other things. And I have had to have my blood pressure medications doubled. Guess I don't deal with stress very well. He has overdrawn his bank account twice in the last two months because he is forgetting to write in his receipts. i have offered to take over for him but he refused. He spends over 100 dollars at least every 4 days to buy cigarettes. This worries me too, because I pay almost all of the household bills, homeowners insurance taxes, eletric, mortgage, etc and he pays for the oil, cable and garbage. If he can't pay those because of overdrawing, I can't pay them either. I have very little left after I pay all my bills. Thank God we got separate checking accounts years ago becuase he did the same thing and that screwed me up. He won't get his SSD check until FEb 12. I don't know what he will do for this cigs because I don't have the money to give him for them,. So now he is using his credit cards and they are almost all maxed out. I wish he was not so stubborn and just let me handle his bills and then what is left he can use for cigarettes. What a mess.

Thank you
