I need some help... and I am out of places to turn.  My granfather, who I 
love with all my heart, is quickly detereating.  He had polio when he was 
sixteen, faught it for many years, and is now going down hill fast.  When I 
was growing up, he used a cane... sometimes to get out of a chair or walk up 
stairs.  He was so alive.  We always did things together, he and my 
grandmother practially raised me.  Every summer we would go fishing together, 
 I would sit on his lap and he would read me books and tell me stories, the 
world was mine.  He gavve it to me.
Now I am 22 years old, my grandfather is only mobilized by an electric 
wheelchair, has no movement in his legs and very little on his right side at 
all.  He has no sence of humor, ambition or adventure.  He sits in a 
specially made chair, looking out the window severial hours a day.  He sleeps 
most of the rest.  He has had a garden, built up, that he enjoys but does not 
seem as interested in that any more either.
In just ten years all this has happened.  How can I help my grandfather?  How 
can I ease his pain?  What is he feeling?  I would give my life if it would 
help, I love him that much.  If anyone knows of anything that can be done, 
please... I am begging you, let me know.  Thankx for listening.
