Sep. 28th, 2012 08:57 pmThere's an option I haven't tried for B. A special chair that would force him to sit vertically while he's eating.
Not ironically called a "Bailey Chair"
I'd have to have one built for him, they don't sell them. I've got a friend (a few, actually) who could do it.
But.
But...
I just don't know that I have it in me to go through with feeding him in something like that. Considering his bad leg and hips, I don't even know if after I'd paid to have one made if we'd be able to use it.
I jut don't know what to do. Keep doing what I'm doing? Which is only sort of working? The option of surgery is out after his reaction to the last one. Management techniques? Well, it's kinda working.
That leaves me with the last option. Which feels like a cop-out.
Time for more scotch.
