Thank you for your response, Yes the personal grooming is becoming an issue, I have had to take over his shaving, a whole new experience for me, although I have always trimmed his hair, shaving him was another thing,,,He was always so neat and well groomed, now I have to monitor his dressing and bathing... I know the time will come when I will have to think of alternate care for him...but at this point he still trys to be independent, and I let him do as much as he can for himself...Seeing his frustration and inability to do fomer tasks is indeed heartbreaking, I cannot imagine how scared and lost he sometimes feels.. I live for the good times, and work through the bad....... |
