[Skytrooper]

He is 71. He has had MS for a long time. It was been slowly progressing. He has been having more numerous setbacks the last year or so. He always bounced back after rehab. This time he is not gaining anything back. He cannot use his hands now, which is the driving force to him going into a place where he can get the help he needs around the clock. It is his decision, but it is depressing to him. I mean, who goes out to get the mail and never gets to go back into their home. It is something none of us think about until it happens. He will have some of his things, not many, but some. He was a globe trotting scientist (seismologist, vulcanologist). Now he is an invalid.
