@georgescraftjr I forgot to add that my hubby has gone from 213lbs to 132lbs. He eats very well. It is so sad to see him this thin.......I was told that eventually the brain causes the body to forget how to use food as needed for nourishment and weight management.

@teacher502

I am sad that you have to see your beloved husband physically waste away. Thanks God he is still eating. As I quoted in an earlier post today, we have to count our blessings and rejoice:

"...oh the towering feeling
Just to know somehow [he/she is] near
The overpowering feeling
That any second [he/she] may suddenly [dis]appear." --Frederick Loewe (music) and Alan Jay Lerner

P.S. I didn't have a chance to edit my original post, so my intended addition of "[dis]" is missing before the word "appear."
