There are no words to describe the rapid change in Dee's body composition. Photos are the only thing that can help describe it, and even then, it's not the same as seeing it. He quite literally is wasting away.
This has been one of the hardest things for him to deal with. Watching himself deteriorate physically, so quickly. It is so challenging to still have the same mind; a sporting mind, a PE teacher mind, a coaches mind, but physically not being able to hold things, bounce a ball, balance, or move. These are things that have been his 'bread and butter' since... forever!
Even the lack of movement and use of his right hand and arm have resulted in a small skinny forearm that doesn't look like it belongs to him. "I have my 18year old boy arms back" he says.
There are always positives; it makes it much easier to move his legs around and wash in the smelly bits!
