Guest guest Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 My dad is at the stage of LBD in which he will not stand when asked to. This is usually during the sundowning hours and into the night. Of course moving him into bed or onto the commode or anywhere is extremely difficult as he outweighs me and he is still very strong. In fact he seems to put 'his brakes on' every chance he gets and resists all efforts to help him. I've been caring for him for over 3 years but I know he probably doesn't know who I am most days. ANY and all suggestions regarding this phase of care when your loved one reached it? Also how about shaving? His head hangs onto his chest and I do my best to hold him up with one hand but I feel like I'm holding a fifty pound weight!. Maybe I am getting weaker and he is getting stronger..lol! Thanks once again, you are all life savers to me! Dot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
