i'm overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and advice you've given me (and an update) [View all]

i've been here a long time and the way we can rally around one another never ceases to amaze me. i had intended to go through and respond to everyone in my previous thread but there were so many replies. i read all the posts and appreciate every one of them. i also greatly appreciate those of you who have messaged me, i will get go through them in more detail when i have a bit more time and energy.

and the update:

we went to his doc today and the prognosis is much better than i could have imagined. doc said his lungs sound good and he could be off the oxygen as early as next week the doomsday scenario came from the hospital but i wasn't there for the discharge conversation because i also came down with something and was home in bed. my husband is uncommunative as they come and hates being asked questions so i should have known to press him a bit more. it didn't even cross my mind to call the hospital.

but that doesn't matter because he's much closer to being better than i could have hoped. however, he is due for an attitude check. he got unacceptably shitty with his mom this morning and is being a turd to me. i know he's sick and scared, but he needs to understand that he can't be like this with us and i asked my dad to have a bit of a chat with him this weekend (they have a really good relationship and husband listens to him).

i'm so tired but feeling better than i have for weeks. i'm sitting on the patio with some and a local enjoying a beautiful spring evening. gods, i love living in colorado.

but, to get back on track, you guys are an awesome bunch
