Posting a question will provide several different answers and points of view. It will also have those words stay to help future OC patients who are in the same situation.
OCF is like a second family, we all 'get' you and your situation. Recovery can be difficult. Adjusting to new ways of life isnt easy. The best thing you can do to help with a speedy recovery is to keep up the high nutrition and hydration. By adding high protein whey powder it will help with heeling faster. A speech pathologist and physical therapist are also going to be great to have around while recovering from what your husband has gone thru.
Caregiving is a difficult job, dont forget to take some time for you once in a while too.
