@whoisashygirl Very stylish!
@matigo I think it means that exercise isn’t all that effective for weight loss (though it does have lots of benefits).
@JeremyCherfas It is, but the slight good news is that as far as we can tell, he’s not actually in pain.
@hazardwarning It is. And everybody feels guilty for not being able to make his life better, but there really isn’t anything more that can be done.

@matigo My mother feeds him, and when he doesn’t want any more, he stops opening his mouth. Sometimes that’s about all the communication he can manage.
@matigo No. He doesn’t make any requests, and doesn’t usually answer even if you ask him a yes/no question.
We saw the new baby too (my mother’s great grandson). It was dressed as a reindeer, but I didn’t take any photos.
We’re home again. It wasn’t an especially busy trip, but I still feel as if I could sleep for a week.
My father barely speaks now. He can understand, but even saying a word or two is just too much effort. I visited him three times while we were there, each time for at least an hour, and he said maybe four words in that time.
