Thank you both. I have a lot to learn. I talked to my husband about it and we are going back to the RO to get more info before his surgery.

And to a dentist who understands the complications. There's so much on this board, the spiral notebook is a great idea.

I have two children and work full time. I'm sure we'll get through this but it feels overwhelming already. Christine, how did you do this without a caregiver?!
