Your husband has a lot on his plate, naturally any perceived and obvious threat such as to his vision is going to play on his mind. [B]ONE Day At A Time[/B] - try to stay with one day, (tomorrow will come no matter what) the sun will rise, there is certainty in that, not everything is as predictable but hang onto the things that are !! [B]Emphasise The Positive[/B] - vision gets better a little in time, the treatment is helping keep the sugars down [B]State the Negative but bit by bit [/B]- doctor says this to be done n 1 month , focus on that (not the following 3 months) [B]Keep Occupied[/B] - audiotapes, music, TV, walks, ? dancing - distraction ++ He might need [B]counselling and other help[/B] for his anxiety and depression ( ? including any tests for underlying causes which have not previously been done) [B]As helper, saviour, chief bottle-washer and resident angel - take your rest when you can and maintain your own health Humour is one of the best medicines.[/B] Best Wishes !!!
