Had the first follow up today. Things are going along as the doctor expected. The surgery was very successful. The wrinkle and scar tissue are all gone. Mild discomfort, no pain. Hubby has to take it easy for another ten days, but may be released to normal activity soon after. Hurray! (Full recovery may be a few months.)
I think all in all, we are both feeling very blessed, with great doctors, great family and friends.
Thanks for your prayers and encouragement! I’d say we are doing better than we expected at this point. We are following doctor’s orders to a T.
And guess what?! Doc said we don’t have to worry so much about the cat at this point, so he can be in the bedroom again! Which means I can be in the bed next to hubby again!
We haven’t slept apart for more than a handful of days during our marriage. Of course, when he was away on work trips, but otherwise, I can count on two hands the total number of days we’ve been in the same house but not the same bed since we were married (almost 40 years ago).
Truly, truly blessed. Happy Friday, everyone!

Your updates get better and better. Wonderful news.
