Hang in there Army, you will get through this just fine. You have a great support team here at OCF, everyone always willing to go the extra mile to help. They helped me immensely get through my OC ordeal.

If possible have your husband join the forum also. It's great that he has a wonderful and involved caregiver like yourself, but there is sometimes a little lost in translation him getting all his info through you. Reading the forum and website for himself he will think of questions he never thought of before. And that just makes him a better, more educated advocate for his own care.

Take care, keep fighting, you will get there, but it will be a rocky road along the way.
