Right now he is on Creon, so he is able to digest food and get nutients. We are very active and so the lack of energy and strength to do what he used to is frustrating and depressing him. He also has some pain from his kidney being blocked and getting irritated.
For me it is working through the situation with him. One minute I'm the greatest thing in his life, the next he's angry because what ever is bothering him at the moment and I become the target.

I'm sure you are trying to help your husband, but it is difficult to deal with his changing moods, @vlny2018. You say that you are very active. Are you still attempting to keep up an active lifestyle? If so, more rest breaks might be helpful.

I would encourage you to look at Connect's support group for Caregivers. Here is a link to those discussion groups, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/caregivers/. In this group, you will find many other spouses who are dealing with physical and cognitive changes as they seek to provide the best care. Caregiving to a person who is experiencing so many physical problems can certainly be difficult.

Have you mentioned these mood changes to any of his doctors?
