So sorry to hear it is back. But have hope and strength! I know it seems grim, especially for your husband. It's daunting with the pain and discomfort let alone the bills and psychological issues. But at the end of the day, if you make the simple decision you want to live, then I think the rest comes along a little easier. It sure sounds like he has a supportive wife and (I can say from experience) that's a huge help. Good luck! Sending positive vibes from North Carolina. Peace...
