this site is so wonderful. bobby seen his local neurologist yesterday. i asked him what stage he would put bobby at. he stated a 6 only because he is still ambulatory. I guess that would maybe mean we would not be able to get hospice yet even though some of the family and friends think we could or at least be evaluated. ambulatory yes but just getting from the car into the office was like herding sheep. anger almost always follows because he is tired of being told which way to move or turn or sit. he has lost 15 pds since his last visit. down to 145 at 6 ft tall. always something to think about.
