He goes to the doctor for a checkup regularly, but he doesn’t share the truth with the doctor. He only makes the required appearance for his prescriptions. That’s the only place he doesn’t want me to go with him. He knows I would spill my guts. :-)
All of this has been coming on since he retired. He’s one of those that once retired, just quit living. He put his butt in his recliner and that’s where it stays. Now his legs and lungs are so weak that he can barely go. Most of his current ailments are self-inflicted from the sitting.
Our driveway is only 200 steps or less per my step tracker. It’s paved. If he goes to the mailbox he has to stop twice coming back to rest. Going to the mailbox was his job. That was my way of making him walk. I have gone to the mailbox for the last two days. The last thing I need is for him to pass out or fall in the driveway. He has mostly just given up. He does use the little weights I gave him to exercise his arms while he sits though.

This is an excellent water balance product.
If you don’t drink a full glass of water it doesn’t work.
I’ve used this product for decades.
This company, based in San Antonio, Texas, has very good products.
I’ve also used their sleep aid and indigestion products at times and they work well for me.
