Thank you so much for asking, blueoctober. Have been making some progress (or at least doing some things, which feels better than complete bewilderment!) having received some very helpful information. Mostly trying not to think about it (haha), outside of gathering info and acting on it, though that doesn't seem to help in the waking up a couple hours early every day in a panic department. Sigh. All we can do is what we can do. It's hard to accept, but true. Trying to keep that in mind. Come hell or high water, I will stand by him, as his support is invaluable and unprecedented for me. (we'll both be keeping an eye on each other, which is totally new to both of us... to have someone that cares enough and understands enough to do so -- With care. Without judgement. Wouldn't trade that for the world. Tearing up just thinking about it. Decades without this, emphasizes just how precious and rare it is).

Guess we'll see. Have some good info, putting it into action and guess we'll just see.... Meanwhile, holding steady. It is easier for me to advocate for another than for myself. By far. Also, TG for meds and the fact that my psych person is aware of and has indicated to call if it gets too bad before next scheduled appt. Deep breath.
