I think my husband may be joining us here at IHD!  :bandance; I think I've convinced him to anyway. I'm so happy. He really needs others to talk to that are in the same boat as he is (spouse/caregiver)! I think he could really benefit from everyone's experiences here. I also believe he will feel better being more knowledgeable about this disease as well.

I have no idea if this is the right place for this post, so feel free to move it!

Tell him to say hello. Say his name and why he is here.
