I just read your post.
Hope you are doing well and that you are having some help with it all....like the senior community you mentioned. You have a lot on your plate to take care of and do considering what you mentioned in your post and the health of you both.
Stress , especially unrelenting stress, sure does not help before one ever has a diagnosis of a health condition and may be the cause of many illnesses. It sure doesn't help especially after the diagnosis.
I understand STRESS I had much unrelenting stress for many years and consider it as one of the possible causes of my BE, my opinion. No MAC as yet.
Hope you are 'managing'...that's my answer when people ask "How are you doing?"

Thanks for your thoughtful response. I have not posted in a long time. My update is that my stress level exploded these past six months with a death in the family, a move and my husband's steady decline. In Dec, I got COVID and was very sick. My lungs were on fire but I could not leave my husband to get care for myself. In January he had a steep physical and cognitive decline and he was hospitalized. I was told that his care needs were beyond what I would be able to manage and he was admitted to LTC. At first, I thought that the COVID had severely damaged my lungs. I was short of breath and coughing and couldn't sleep. Now, the stress is resolving. My MAC seems better. I will have a CT scan in April. I would like to hear from others who have had COVID with MAC. I am glad to be back to reading your posts. All the best to you all.
