[QUOTE="Coookie, post: 125643, member: 1587"] Sweet Linda..... For so many years you were the one handling everything. All the issues (doctor appointments, medications, etc.) with the Tweedles. :( and for husband. :( I believe he is afraid and also still trying to adjust to handling what was once the role you filled. :( husband's and my role has shifted somewhat from what it once was and at times I wish it could go back to the way it was... not very often... but at times. Your husband is stepping up to the plate and at times he probably will have trouble with that, not to mention the fear I'm sure he is feeling as he helplessly watches you in pain. :( Feeling helpless may be the operative word here. :( I don't believe he is angry at you, he is angry at your illness...but...he can't express it to that maybe... so you become the target. :( Dealing with the Tweedles is dealing with circumstances different than having to face his sweet wife in physical stress. I know when husband is not well it shakes me to the very core. :( (Don't know if that made sense or not but I know what I'm trying to say). He wants you soooo to be well, he is almost trying to WILL it with his words. I think that is easier for him than to admit his fear. :( Just some thoughts. Sending many hugs and saying many prayers.
