@cekkk I wonder if @ldrlaw thought that would help, that she would be the first to open the door for her husband. In the end, we each have to make the decisions that affect our health and life. Sometimes people are too scared to think of what could happen, or don't believe their situation is as dire as it is. Sometimes people do not want to do the work involved, or they have memories associated with the situation that freezes them into inaction. We can offer solutions, or ways to cope, but we can't do it for them. There is a lot to be said for speaking to someone "in the trenches" that's for sure!

@ldrlaw, has there been any progress in helping your husband understand his health situation?

Your comment reminded me of what my mother use to say to me in my impressionable youth. She use to tell me if I were in a French restaurant and salted my food before tasting it or added too much salt the chef would throw their rolling pin at me. I chuckle now but it was effective as I don't add salt to anything!

Years ago there use to be a program where volunteers with various conditions would volunteer their time to speak with patients one-on-one in person who were up against the same thing, to share how they managed. I don't know the status of this program now. Does anyone recall information on it? If it is still up and running it might prove a happy medium.
