I read earlier that JR has diabetes, Did he loose his legs from diabetes or an accident or combat? Also, how much is gone? Obviously sitting and sleeping in a wheelchair is not working. There has to be a way for him to get into a bed and be able to reposition periodically. If he does not have some kind of daily occasional physical and health care, this can be very difficult. My late husband wanted to die at home. Fortunately, with the Supplements I was giving him, he was mobile until the week before he died. Alzheimers eventually made it impossible to swallow his supplements, even crushed into apple sauce or yogurt. He died in one month after no longer being able to swallow them, age 75. Home Hospice came in once a day for the last 7 days.
It was diabetes. He lost the first leg in 2008, and the second in 2013. Nevertheless, he’s always been fiercely independent.
