hi dolphin
sorry to hear that you have these problems and an unsupportive husband!
try to make back up arrangements for getting to your appointments.
local authorities may offer a service such as ring and ride which will pick you up from home and take you to where you need to be.
have you been seen by a continence nurse?
do you think you are retaining urine?
the bladder nurse would advise cutting out caffeine, alcohol and other stimulants because they irritate the bladder.
as for the husband - maybe he hasn’t got his head around the facts of your illness.
make sure that he has the necessary information - leave leaflets about asthma lying around.
get a big, tough friend to give him a kick up the bum.
