What great advice you have received from these wonderful people. I ditto all of that.
Most men do not talk much. So think back before all this started. Did your husband talk in great detail? Maybe not. He is only 3 months out and I am sure still very fatigued. Going to work is probably all he can handle right now. I am surprised he can do that.
I get tired real easy. I am only good for about 3 to 4 hours in the morning. By late afternoon I am ready for a rest period.
It is hard to be a caregiver. You must make time for yourself. Go out with friends, family or what ever. You need to take care of you as well.
I would tell my husband to go and see friends and get out and do what ever he wanted. I did not want him to sit and do nothing because I was not up to it.
Moving is hard on everyone and having to deal with the cancer on top of it is just way over the edge. My heart goes out to you.
Now it is Christmas time. Maybe your husband would go for a night drive with family and look at all the Christmas lights. ??
Thinking of you both... Take care Diane
