Pat,
I prayed for both of you. Did you point out to him how much it helps you be more independent? I bought the Pizmo scanning and reading app, as well as a stand to aline the pone perfectly with the document so it can take a picture and read it. I can now read books! Once you get your iPhone, the Prizmo app cost only $9 something instead of a flat scanner and ocr software. You can buy a braille app for just around $20 instead of expensive equipment. That's my example; yours could be different.
I hope your situation gets better soon. Perhaps your husband is going through stress of some kind?
Hth,
Sharon H
