That’s right. My Dad is now bed bound. He is immobile without assistance. This is what happens as the disease progresses.

I’m sorry that you and your family have to experience this with your Dad……my Mom died of the disease, it’s so hard to watch without being able to do anything.

Oh yes, May! It is so difficult. I am very sorry for your loss. Dad still recognizes my Mom and I and we see him everyday at the nursing home, but it is so hard to watch him slowly slip away. We are grateful for all the moments we still have to show him how much he means to us. 💛

Lost a father in law. We cared for him for 5 years before he was gone. Worse experience of our lives.

It takes such a heavy toll. My Dad is like Trump in body size and height. Mom and I couldn’t care for him at home. You both are a credit to your family. 🤍

He was a smaller man, but the stress is overwhelming . Our 45 th anniversary is the 16th of this month. Those 5 years almost broke us.

We can hope that trump gets there soon. There will always be his sycophants to support him even if his feet drag!! I am sorry about your dad.

Thank you, Patti.

You are right about his unwavering base of support. Let’s hope his progress is speedy. I’d like to see J.D. Vance attempt to rally anyone.
