Thanks for sharing the photo of the bruise like marks. They look rough.. His

arm is so thin.

I know, Jolene, his whole body has not one ounce of fat, isn't it sad?? His

legs are so small, they are the size his arms use to be. Losing 100 lbs.

surely makes a difference in one's stature and features. He is getting much

weaker...but so damn bull-headed. He isn't using the cane that was provided by

Hospice weeks ago!! He fell yesterday straight back from standing at the

toilet. More bruises, but they are " real " bruises!! I'm afraid when Hospice

hears this, they will say he shouldn't be left alone...and he probably

should't be. It just so happens no one showed up from hospice yesterday, so he

had

dried blood all down his arms and legs (from the arm). Had to clean him up

and the floor when I got home. Not sure who's coming today from Hospice, but

they have to get some kind of a routine schedule...there's suppose to be

someone come by on the days I'm at work...instead the Nurse and Soc. Worker

showed up Wed. and no one Thurs.

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle

Caregiver to Glenn
