Carrie,
I am glad you posted an update. I was a little concerned about you. As always you haven't let this instance go to waste and you are looking for ways to make sure when you get sick again you have a chain of help. VERY SMART!!!
And yes, all you can do is try. If your hubby gets mad it is only because he loves you and is worried about you but he also knows you and he won't stay mad for long. Especially when he knows your new strategy for dealing with it better.
Lots of hugs and love,
Heidu
