So as to verb and so that
?1.He is suffering from a severe disease, so as not to even able to walk on his own.
2.He is suffering ftom a severe disease, so that he can't even walk on his own.
Q1. Do both sentences mean the same thing and are both all sound natural?
Q2. Must there be a comma before "so" ?
Q3. I think in this case, "so as to" describes the degree of how much he is suffering, like "so that", and for this reason, I don't think "so as to" means "in order to" in sentence 1. Am I right?
