Wife/Carer to husband with chronic wound & brain injury

Ok anyone ever heard of radiocronosis? Well it's a condition that occurs after one has radiotherapy. Well my husband is a chronic pain sufferer, has a chronic wound on his head from radio beam and icing on the cake he's got brain injury from the radio...

He has been described as having cognitive decline...

Double icing is the day he was diagnosed with cancer I froze cuz I was ready to leave him.
25 years later I choose to look after him and sometimes bad things that happen don't make things better.
He's palliative, in denial and we have a pandemic goin on...

like wow.....
