Just a quick revisit to update the thread.

It's been about three weeks now and I think I found the key. I stopped thinking about the things he ought to be doing to help me and started finding ways I could take care of him, within my newly-restrained abilities.

Yes, as cliche as it sounds, the only thing that works is taking care of each other. Once he saw it wasn't a one-way street -- and that on days I was feeling relatively good I was pitching in as much as I could -- he joined in.

I think it's going to be all right, after all.

So glad you figured that out fluffy.
It's the best tactic for couples even if not in a care-giving situation.
