Sounds terrible. Glad you're on the mend.
My recent post She's Hanging In There... I'm Hopeful

Visiting from PYHO. I can feel your fear while I'm reading this. I am so sorry you're having to go through all of this. Hopefully he will be scared enough this time to start making the changes needed to help him get healthier. But you're right, you can't make him change, you're not his mother or his keeper. But you are his wife and that should count for something. My husband is diabetic as well and I live in fear that something will go wrong and we won't grow old together. I nag him all the time about taking his medicine and exercising. He does well most times, but certainly doesn't exercise like he should. I lost a child a year and a half ago and my greatest fear is that I'll lose my husband next and end up alone. Hugs to you.

Thanks for including me, although I slightly confused on what this is all about. Is this just so we can find/follow each other and cheer each other on?? Or is there more to it than that?

For what it's worth, if you go private then your husband can stay the night with you. Not sure if that's an option for you or not. We have this really great American health insurance that covers most of the costs so that's what we're doing. I found it especially helpful after my son was stillborn because the idea that I would have had to spend the night alone with no baby and no husband would have been absolutely horrible. The hubby was able to stay with me the whole time.
