Quote: You mean, like bringing him a little hot soup and having the humidifier and Tylenol ready by the bedside, but letting him fix his hot shower by himself... Copious notes taken here (dealing with sick H myself of the don't-pamper-but-take-care-of-me-kind).
I love your insights CHL. Sound so Gary Cooper in 'High Noon': do what you have to do and don't talk about it...
Everyone's a little different, but what about "Hey, I have some soup heated up in the kitchen. Would you like me to bring you a bowl?" That way, if he doesn't feel like eating, it's not being forced upon him. I still shows you were thinking about him, and trying to help.
Having the humidifier and Tylenol ready works (as long as you don't rush in as soon as he wakes up to put the water in, plug it in, grab a glass of water, get the pills out for him, etc. )
I don't know that I've ever seen the movie, but I love the analogy.
