@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?

I sent him the Mayo website article on dialysis and reminded him of the amount of time and limitations that dialysis requires. I think that helped a little. He has finally said that he thinks he may be depressed which is a breakthrough. The psychologist that I’m seeing suggested he might ask our doctor about the medication wellbutrin but he doesn’t seem open to that yet. Thanks for your support.
