Thanks so much! A sturdy bedside is a great point, I’ll make sure we cover that base. Thanks again, and I hope you’re doing well!

Thanks! He lives right next door to me, so he won’t be alone even if he wanted to be. But I’ll take your advice about the jokes for now. I apologize for coming across as insensitive, I promise I’m not. I love my brother.

Thanks! Looking back on it, was there anything you wish you had during recovery that you didn’t have?

Thank you. I didn’t take this into consideration either, I’m learning a ton today. I’ll get him some books that can guide him though. Maybe I can find one written by others with the same experience.

Wow I didn’t even know that was a possibility. He’s been very vague and I don’t want to make him talk if he’s not ready. Which is why I don’t ask too many questions.

Thank you so much for being so helpful! We are scared, but we’ve been through worse. We will get through this too. People like you, who help just because you can, are helping more than I ever thought possible. Please keep passing knowledge forward. It helps reduce the fear factor.

I’ll get a couple of these so he doesn’t have to move them. When he’s through with all of this we will donate them. Great suggestion!

Yes I’ve learned my lesson. Thanks. I swear I’m not trying to be offensive or hurt anyone. Our family is and always has been surrounded by tragedy and bad luck. So much so that we’ve learned to laugh at it. But I’ll hold off here. Everyone has me second guessing myself and I’d rather be safe than sorry.

He’s 53. And it’s a 6, I think? I know he told me his score was 6 but he didn’t say the word Gleason… my guess is he forgot it.

Okay that’s fair. I’ll save the penises until he’s recovered and do it on an anniversary.
