sorry you had to join our little club, but welcome. I concur with all the advice given you. Even if your husband is too stubborn to join OCF or log on, you can and should use this to vent all your worries and frustrations as a caregiver because this site has the world's BEST caregivers along with the feistiest patients. Actually my personal opinion is that the reason so many of our posters are female caregivers rather than the male patients is twofold: First the classic male desire to "do it on my own" (shown in the aversion to "asking directions ")
Second, if he logs on here whining and moaning about how "no one can imagine the fatigue", he would shortly find out that his troubles are anything but unique. In fact, he would find out that many people had it worse without feeling so sorry for himself. We are sympathetic but posting regularly on OCF is the only known cure for "self-pity" parties.
The good news is there is reason for HOPE. We all did it, and you guys can too
