@sassytwo WOW! you're a great friend--keep it up be very patient. when you say he feels good helping you not sure if that is handyman type help. I have early stages of Parkinsons, and I told my sons don't ever stop asking me for help. so, my son in another state calls me a lot and asks my advice on home improvement stuff all the time and I love it. I'm not doing any of the work I'm simply giving him advice on drywall or plumbing etc.. even if you have a sister, brother or friend that's not nearby tell your friend--"hey my sister that lives in ____ has an issue with her sink do you know what that could be or how to fix it" and then follow up and tell him thanks that worked great. If his wife has a favorite candy or drink or whatever give her the occasional atta boy. keep being a great friend
