Hi, I'm replying to my own post, here. When I said earlier that if he wanted me to dole out his meds he needed to do some things I am asking of him I did not mean I would deny him his medicine. I would just ask that he take that responsibility over for himself.

On a side note...he is being a little more cooperative today. Probably because I told him how angry and frustrated I was this morning (yet again.) But this time I told him I didn't know if I could be the caregiver if he wouldn't cooperate and particpate in his own recovery since it's obviously not working for him or me. We'll see what happens...he did let me give him 6oz water and a high calorie can of 'gunk' in his feeding tube. And he did go for a walk with me this afternoon.

He did start an anti-depressant last week. The effects of those can be so subtle, though, depending on the person. Hopefully, it will help in another week or two. But if he isn't taking nourishment, water and moving he'll be really sick by then. Again, thanks for listening.
