Speaking from a "been there-done that" perspective of a caregiver to a very stubborn husband, I have to disagree with Gary just a little. I think there are times when a Doctor OR A Caregiver must say "you Should or Must" do this to keep headed in the right direction. Caregivers can see most clearly [if we are actively engaged] what is going on daily. Cookie, you are Robin's best advocate, and as such, you will make him mad at times,and maybe make some of his medical team uncomfortable at times, but you've just got to be the strongest one. And I hope you can convince him to stop working for awhile to get the recovery time his body needs. Amy in OZ
