Moosey,
I am sorry to hear about the trouble you've been having. I emphathize with you on the lack of understanding - makes it extra tough when the spouse doesn't fully get it. Tough for him (or anyone else) to really understand though without having actually been through it himself.
(Stating the obvious here) - It's definitely easier and sometimes necessary to stay cooped up when things get rough. Personally - I went outside as much as I could tolerate. At the beginning, just a couple minutes of the sun and breathing open air did a lot of good for me.
Workwise I was in a similar boat in that I had a crapton of sick time piled up - was also blessed with an understanding, caring boss.
From reading your posts it's obvious you're one tough cookie.
All the best.
