Then his left foot won't go down where he puts it down and he falls; his left hand goes weak, and he goes without it; he stops drinking, it doesn't help; his steps get shorter, he shuffles, then totters; he falls, and he falls, and he falls on his bottom, on his side, on his face; then nothing works except he eats and eats, will only stop when the food runs out or is taken away, still he wastes as if starving, soon weighs only a handful more than she does, but she cannot pick him up -- she can feed him, wash him, change him, get him in and out of bed, but she cannot pick him up, and he falls & falls & falls.
