Catching up...
Well, happy new year. A bit late, but I've been busy. After we got over the flu, my husband had what he describes as a "meltdown"... kind of like a mental breakdown. Stress and anxiety, but multiplied to the point where he was nearly incapacitated. He's on a low dosage of Zoloft, now, and is stabilized, with the help of weekly therapy sessions. It was rough for a while, though. It was difficult to leave for work every day because I was afraid he'd just sit on the sofa all day, rocking back & forth. Sometimes he did. He went through periods of such extreme and illogical self-doubt that I'd have to talk him into some semblance of functionality every morning before I felt that he could handle me being gone all day at work.
He started improving and we went to see my family and some friends in Denver for the holidays. It was still a bit touch & go -- he had no interest in food or eating, but we'd all been looking forward to his amazing cooking for Christmas dinner. In the end he outdid himself, but I spent a lot of time in the kitchen at Mom's house with him, helping out and cheering him on.
Getting to Denver, however, was another story. First of all, I must say right now that neither my husband nor I have any intention of flying on America West (America Worst) Airlines ever, ever again. I have, in fact, transferred whatever frequent flier miles I had accrued to another airlines and closed my AW Flight Fund account. So suffice to say that it was an awful travel experience.
