Also he has had many procedures over the years and is obviously used to being pulled about by the medical profession so I am sure he is approaching this one in a very positive action.
I am sure it helps with pre op mental attitude to know he has the love and support of his family in particular a wife whom it is obvious cares deeply for him as he does for her.
Thanks for the photos snugs - i think you're right about this not being too serious. He really is a good man. We are lucky and blessed to have him.
