my boyfriend is supposed to be using a nebulizer 4 times a day (acetylcystine and something else i'm blanking on right now) and in the week and a half he's supposed to have been doing this, he's done it a total of 4 times. this is an important therapy that should not be ignored, right?
also in the same time he's supposed to have started using a bipap during sleep - again, he's probably used it under 2 hours since he's been home (was discharged from the hospital 1 1/2 weeks ago). again - important, right?!
it's frustrating to me - because i'm trying to help him do everything he needs to. i remind him, check in with him and get things for him all the time.
he's depressed because his health is declining, but he says that he doesn't want to die yet. but he's coughing a lot more, has had more nausea lately, and his sleep is getting irregular - so finding the time to do the treatments has been hard. but his compliance doesn't match what he says his will to live is. nothing i've been saying or doing has seemed to help.
any help, encouragment, and information would be wonderful. thanks.
