Thank you for your post, your suggestions and encouragement.
It seems that you have been a loving caregiver.
He has had symptoms of both for several years and his diagnosis is three years old.
We purchased an adjustable bed and he’s getting used to it but often positions himself so close to the end of the bed that it’s ineffective.
I’m currently researching home care, just a few hours a week for companionship for him and a break for me. Its unfortunate that cost drives such decisions, isn’t it.
Thanks,
Jan

Good morning, @janty Yes, it sure is unfortunate that money/cost drives so many decisions, especially when it comes to support needed by caregivers to help make the lives of their loved ones, and their own, somewhat easier.

It's a rough road for sure and I hope you are able to find some reasonable help!

Strength, Courage, & Peace
