First of all welcome . I came to this forum last November and have found great resources here for info and support. My husband doesn't want the details and isn't interested in this "fool machine" but I have shared some good news when I find it.The road is hard and ever so long and you'll have many questions about all the little disasters that come up and most MDs don't explain or the pt doesn't listen or ask. You're among friends here so just ask. Someone has been through it. I only want to add what a wonderful friend you must be. whatever happens pat yourself on the back and god love ya .It isn't always a "guy thing 'to stick around someone sick. Do you have any young brothers or a son I have a fifteen year old and if they have your genes I'd consider it a plus. Just kidding I don't want her married off for quite some time. If every day you can see the light side a little the darkness isn't so bad at least I try to convince myself of that. It does get pretty dark. I wish you both the best it looks like your a good combo
