Im sorry you have gotten such bad news. Its not very nice of the doctor to be so heartless with news like that. Im hoping you get another opinion and even a 3rd that are better than the first one. Hang in there til you see another doctor, dont give up. If your husband is feeling low right now, maybe he needs some prescription meds to help with anxiety. Many people here have used that to help take the edge off. Recovery seems to take forever and can be very discouraging. But, dont give up even if there is little or no progress. Healing takes a very long time to get back to close to normal. I will keep you both in my prayers.
