The exact same words my H has used. Many, many times.

I couldn't agree more. I wasn't saying that you should be entirely away, because it would definitely be good for H to see those changes. Just try not to be around the whole time. Give him time and space.

Hope all goes well with his doctor appt and also with his upcoming visit.

Good luck.
