Guest guest Posted November 7, 2002 Report Share Posted November 7, 2002 Hi Jill, this isn't stubbern. I can feel with him, because this chair just does not fit anymore. I suggest that you lower the floor just in front of his chair with a removable cover and install a small elevator on that place. Then he can stand up easily and have himself lifted to the level floor. Thanks anyway for your postcard, Timo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2002 Report Share Posted November 8, 2002 I agree with Bill, I don't think stubbornness is exclusive to the male population ). But I thank God for my husband's stubbornness. I may feel differently the further on this progresses, but I truly believe Jeff's stubbornness has kept him alive. He absolutely refuses to give in to this. Every day he trusses himself up like a turkey in back and leg braces so he can go to work. He does the exercises, the speech therapy, takes all the godawful medications so he can still function as a husband and provider. He sleeps with a CPAP, and in the morning, he so swollen, he can barely curl his fingers. He says sometimes his feet are so swollen that they feel " squishy " when he walks. And he hurts all the time. And part of me wants to say, it's OK, give in, because I see him suffering, and part of me says YOU GO GUY, thank you for fighting! I guess if he wants to be stubborn, the least I can do is let him be and let him hang on to some semblance of dignity. But in the background, where he can't see me, I'll be there to catch him if he falters. God Bless all of us. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
