Bells Palsy Stress related

My husband or should I say his illness has caused me alot of stress. But as I read what many of you other caregivers have gone through and are going through, I feel like a wuss. My husband has stage iv lung cancer and advanced COPD. He has had the cancer awhile before he was offically diagnosed in september last year. The onoclogist said that with treatment he may have two years. Without treatment, 6 months. Now I know they don't always know that for a fact because many people have lived much longer than what was predicted. And some people, less. So, I have only been dealing with this since September of last year which is about 4 months and already I am losing my mind. He is not as demanding as others I have read about, thank God. But he is demanding in his own ways. He tried to set me rules yesterday and I told him he could shove his rules. Not very nice of me, I know. I am doing the best I know how to do. Anytime he asks me for something to eat or drink, I am right on it. Of course, he doesn't eat much of anything. I will make him coffee and 5 minutes later he is asking for another cup althoug He didn't drink the first cup. I mentioned that he still had most of that cup left, and he looked at me and said,"Why would you ask me that ? When I make him a sandwich or soup, when he does, I tell him that it is good that he ate it all. But what I found out is that he is giving it to our dogs. But he tells me he ate it all. Our dogs are too fat now and I asked him to please not give them his left overs but he just keeps doing it. He won't use his walker and has fallen 6 times over the last week. On top of eveything else, he is addicted to pain pills and has been most of his life. He had it under control for the first 10 years of our marriage until he developed spinal stenosis and degenertive disc disease in his back. Then he started using them more and more and the weird drug behavior showed its ugly head. So from 2008 until now, our marriage has not been a very happy one. Well with everything going on now, I have developed Bells Palsy which is caused by certain things, one of them being stress. I had it before back in the early 90s so I knew what was happening. I can't close my left eye and my mouth is drooping on the right side. I went to the doctors yesterday and she gave me prednisone. She had been Joes doctor until he overdosed on the in september, and she refused to give him any more pain pills. She said ,"HOney you are absolutely right. THis is caused by stress and I know JOe and I know how he can be so rude. " So here I am whining when so many of you have had to deal with so much more. YOu all need gold medals! Thanks for letting me vent.
