My husband has withdrawn the past couple of weeks, granted his ability to communicate has changed but he is withdrawing more and more. He will just stare ahead, acting like he can't hear and sometimes won't even respond to questions I ask. I have to nag to get him to hydrate, eat, exercise his jaw, etc. His treatment is going very well with minimal side effects.
I do all his care for him, he can't bring himself to care for his skin, trach, feeding, meds, etc. He has to do some of this himself but won't. I'm worried about trisimus.
I am exhausted so resilance is decreased but would it be wrong to get mad at him? Ignoring seems rude but I understand depression is to be expected.
