Michelle,

Just to give balance to the anger discussion....I did not have to deal with it at all. Bill was a very good patient...never lashing out, never showing anger. I can't imagine what it would have been like if he had...I was maxed out emotionally as it was.

The one time he seemed agitated and fussed about being fed, he was running a temperature and I didn't know it...wound up in the hospital.

I have seen Bill very angry...as a young man, he was hard to handle at times but getting older has mellowed him...I am usually the one with the bad temper (blame it on menopause.) Anyway, he just did not react to his dx and treatment with anger...chose to approach it like he has all of his engineering challenges...something he had to conquer.

A thankful caregiver,
Deb
