As I type my husband of 49 years, is undergoing major arterial surgery to his legs. I just needed to write this down.
He has already had two bypasses and two new hips. Where he gets the courage from I do not know.
My son from LA is here to be with me.
I keep crying.

My heart goes out to you, I agree totally with what Movedalot says. The waiting is torture but you must trust the skill of the surgeons and live up to your DH's own courage. flowers to you and you son - wonderful that he is there with you. Chins up xx

It can be hard just waiting and wondering if things are going well.
It's good that you have your son with you.
