First of all.......HUGS......hang in there, lady. I'm sending you all the strength I can muster for you both today. Best of luck at the neuro's appointment. I hope he/she gives your hubby something that brings this down to a dull roar.
You might want to look into St. Johnswort for his depression. It's a natural treatment and it can really make a difference.
I wish I had magic words to make your pain go away, but I don't. Just know that your hubby appreciates how strongly you are standing behind him, whether he mentions it or not. I know it's hard right now, but do try to take some time for yourself, go for a walk or something, hang out at the mall, whatEVER, but try to 'de-clusterize' even if only for an hour. For your own peace of mind, wait until he's just finished an attack and you've got a sense that he won't get hit again for a few hours, then vamoose for a little bit. Take a phone with you if you can, tell him to call you if he needs you, but take some Katrina time. It really can help you to re-center yourself and get the world back into perspective.
Always here if you need me, lady.
Hugs again,
Margi
