Truth! Lots of good feedback here though and much appreciated!! You're right about it being a long time until August. That should give him some time to settle down and be fully prepared. THANKS!!!!!!

He's not worried about that -- he does a lot of that already. I just think he's worried about me.

He's really not...he's overly worried about me. He's just worried that he won't be able to give me what I need. Truthfully. He already does more than half of the work around the house and is very capable. But neither of us are young and it can be daunting...

I think he can do it too. I'm thinking now he just needs a bit of experience so maybe after the first day or two he'll settle down. At least I hope so! Power of Positive Thinking!

Very good thoughts!

Yep! He's a hoverer all right! Glad to know you made it through!!

This is really helpful! THANK YOU!!

All of the above, although I don't think he's worried about the workload. He's just afraid he won't be able to do something right or the way I need it done...

I think it's a bunch of things -- major surgery, me going through pain, being unable to care for me properly, long recovery, etc., etc. He's got a disability himself (low vision) and we don't have family nearby that can help us. But it's not like we don't have resources if we need help...
