Chris,

Let me commend you on your attitude and outlook, keep a hold of that as you move forward. Fear of the unknown is natural, know that those of us that have traveled this road are here to support and as guides, use us as you need.

I really can't add to any of the wonderful advice given above except to reinforce the eating and Debs point of getting your husband up to speed on his caregiving role. Make no mistake that that role is not only vital, but harder then hell. Encourage him to get on this site as well and be informed and talk with other caregivers...he'll need support too.

Go Get Em

Eric
