Thank you all so much for the encouragement and support. It meant more than I can ever adequately express. And, yes, as many of you suggested, I did picture you all around me when I was waiting. That along with my constant prayers to the angels helped me keep the tears to a minimum.
I often think that because we've been in this situation a fair amount of times now, that I will handle it better. That's just not the case. I do believe I handle it worse each time it happens.
Musicman had the procedure and it went well. Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem and we are now looking at a more complicated surgery in the near future. I can't even think about that right now, I'm just too exhausted. I am going to go find something to eat, cause I've been existing on mostly coffee for the last few days(not a great idea) and then try and relax enough to get some sleep.
Huge hug!

ReplyDeleteIt is disappointing that this procedure didn't fix the problem, but, honestly, I'm not surprised. Nothing ever seems to be simple when it comes to his health concerns. It helps to have such loving, supportive friends. Thank you for that :)
DeleteGlad you both got through the day and sorry you have to go through it again. Prayers and strength to you and try to get some rest.
ReplyDeleteI did finally get a good night's rest last night. Damn insomnia, it always kicks in at the very worst times. Thank you for all the prayers and support, they help so much :)
