On a different note... going back to your original post... it's a horrible disease, and there's not much they can do once 7 sets in.
Even if he's still able to walk, he's a danger to himself because he could suddenly stop walking at any time. Also, he is a danger to himself because, as you said, he eats things that arent food and picks at his sores... unfortunately, sometimes the only way to help is to make them safer, calmer. Albeit drug-induced calm, but it's better than living out your remaining time being in pain because you hurt yourself, and not knowing why or how not to do it again...
I'm glad everything is coming together, though. Now you can start to remember him as he was as a person, not having to concentrate so hard on how he is currently.
