Luckily he's very practical and instead of telling me not to worry so much, like everybody up to now has been telling me (but they never can tell how not to worry) he gave me an exercise how calm down when feeling stressed. I got another appointment for next week.

I am glad you are getting on top of it. A trick a friend told me once was instead of thinking 'don't panic', think 'remain calm'. Apparently making the thought or instruction a postitive works better than trying NOT to do something.

Update. A good night and Mr M appears much better this morning. A fe minutes ago he asked to go out to the sand pit (left over from blokes building/paving and in the shed open to the front. (he will only use the box or garden as a last resort.
Little bugger! After a wee, he ran off (first run since Wed), and it was all I could do to catch him. He is really going to hate this last day being stuck indoors now that he is feeling better.
