Anxious and scared

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.

Glad to hear that all has gone well, if rather more slowly than you expected. All good wishes that your husband makes a speedy recovery and is soon home with you.

Wonderful news !flowers

It is now 10pm and we have had a few glasses of wine. All is well, thank goodness. The operation took much longer than either I or DH expected. He was on the table for 5 hours then in recovery so it has been an extremely long day.
I have seen my DH so am much happier now.
Son, Andrew has been a great support.
Being a nurse, albeit long retired, I had all sorts of scenes running through my mind.
Thank you for all the support from you all. I can assure you all it did help.

So many GNers thinking of you and your husband and sending positive vibes - my thoughts and (((hugs))) are winging their way to you also flowers

So difficult to remain calm when we are so worried, how good you have your son there to support you

As someone who`s husband has come through 2 major operations in less than a month, I can appreciate just how you are feeling Grandmanorm, and send my very best wishes to you and yours.

I hope that all will be well very soon. The waiting is horrid.

It's only natural to feel anxious and scared, Grandmanorm - who wouldn't.
I hope your husband is soon through the surgery and on the way to a good recovery flowers
