Do what you gotta do. I admire you so much for taking this on. You are a better woman than I am. I'd have parked my husband in a home a long, long time ago. My utmost admiration and encouragement goes out to you. I hope you can feel it.

coming your way.... It is so hard when family needs help. I agree with what has been said above, but may I also add, try presenting it a little different. Present it in a manner that you are doing this for him, not for you, but to help him. Tell him this is what the physicians have recommended to help HIM.. I have found in being POA for my Dad since Mom passed, that is he thinks it benefits his life, more than others he is more cooperative. I have been able to assist him to stay home with home health care as he did not want a nursing home or assisted living situation, but he definitely needed help. Kind of like reverse psychology for them, for some reason men accept it better that way. Pray it becomes easier and your shopping sounds great !

Revision #2 Dr John Rabkin June 21, 2013; First Revision DS - Dr Maguire 5-18-09; First DS 7-15-2003 Dr Clark Warden = Third time is the charm 
I think you need to lay it on the line for him: If you don't get more time, you're going to be burnt out and unable to care for him, which means nursing home for him. I have a feeling that is the last thing he wants. Not that it may not come to that and ultimately be a better thing, as Slim points out, but you gotta work with the motivational tools you got. Your hub's aversion to a nursing home may be the lever you need for right now.
You are so strong. I am awed by you!
