Oh Julia, I am sorry you are having to deal with his defeated attitude. I am glad he is doing the PT, do you think he will continue exercising at home, or sit down and do nothing? Can you "invent" and ice cream or shake made of a protein drink that he will eat? Ask at rehab - they have so many magical tricks up their sleeves! My daughter worked on a unit where her residents only wanted to eat about 10-11 am. The dietician invented "super French toast" that nobody refused, even the pickiest of eaters.
Hugs!

If he can do the exercised in bed he will probably continue them. Just had to cancel another appointment so have 3 more to reschedule.
He is also very good at drama (did some TV, a play and lots of commercials in his younger days). He also has a low tolerance for pain, which has him doing nothing rather than getting up and moving. Thank God he never had to have a baby!
When I follow doctor's orders and insist he get his own water, etc., he 'punishes' me for being unfeeling and mean. After 35 years of waiting on him it is really hard not to do lol. Turns out I've been an enabler 🙁 But he could come up with so many excuses - gout attack, hip and/or knee problems, backache, etc.
He claims he only can eat my cooking. Another excuse.
Super French toast sounds good.
