this point of life is hard on a lot of us and it can be scary as well as strange trying to deal with so many changes. i am sure that it is very scary for both of you. it must be doubly hard on you being down and still trying to care for him.

very familiar with bronchoscopy, a lot of people here have to have it because there is a virus in the soil here that even young people get that looks like cancer on film and even acts like cancer or COPD but they have to know which one to know how to treat people. other than the usual risk of anesthesia it is fairly easy and everyone has gone home in a couple of hours. after you will at least know what you are dealing with and only have to fight one battle instead of fear of multiple things. i hope this makes sense, i often don't these days.

i am glad that you stood up for yourself and made him realize what he was doing. since he doesn't seem to normally be a mean man perhaps the two of can discuss it and come up with a word that you could gently let him know he has become excessively grouchy or mean to you without realizing it. praying for both of you.
