Emmylou, just want to stick my 2 cents in here-from one caregiver to another- I had many occasions with John when he neded to be seen by a Doc on an emergency basis and he refused to go. Those times absolutely wore me down with worry, not to mention the feelings of ineptitude at how to handle the situation. You may need to have a heart to heart talk with Buzz and let him know what those situations are doing to you health wise and emotionally. You need to stay healthy for him and iat's hard to do if you are under a mountain of stress trying to deal with these surprise issues alone. Amy in the Ozarks
