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 father ion law had similar surgery on his legs twice. He made a quick and complete recovery both times, in spite of having serious heart problems. I hope things continue to go well for you flowers

I know the feeling. I agree with the others. It can be more stressful for the relatives than the patients.
