Hi, Debra. You got lots of good advice above. I have to add that John's worst time was after rad ended and lasted about 5 weeks- all he wanted to do was sleep. Figure out what kind of feeding schedule he wants to be on and a reliable way to track the calories and liquids if you are not at home. How far away are you at work? The suggestion about coming home in the middle of the day and going back is a good one if it is doable. Getting some outside help is also good. My husband refused to have a home health nurse come in- and the funny thing was that each time I threatened, he seemed to rally and try to do more things for himself! [Men are such interesting creatures]It's gonna be tough going for awhile. Amy
