doydie,
Sorry you have been thru a really nasty ordeal. A humidifier is not a luxury; hopefully you can get hubby to realize this. (I don't know if you tried putting vaseline in your nostrils ; especially when very dry. I have been doing this for years; especially in the winter.) Also, would be good if you could possibly stay in another day. Maybe you can give him a grocery list that has some frozen pizza or t.v. dinners on it . He will learn to appreciate when you are feeling up to cooking again.

Take care,

Gerry
