so much good info! thank you ladies.

he seemed slightly more on top of things today but still very foggy. 2 more radiation treatments! i can tell he is much more sick this week. Highly congested, sleeping most of the time.

The only time he drives is when he bolts out of the house and takes my car to walmart to buy water. I'm not happy that he does it but I think he's angry about his loss of independence.

Since fixing his feeding tube, he seems to be doing ok on fluids and intake but will find out for sure on his last appt on Thursday. And I agree, the ropey saliva has gotten a lot worse this week. I thought it was bad before but it is pretty bad. He sounds like Darth Vader when he breathes!

hanging in there! I drive for my business a couple of hours most days, I'm looking forward to driving just a couple of hours a day!
