It seems like forever that we have been waiting for Vi’s surgery date. Last week we learned it is scheduled for tomorrow. Now all along I have know this surgery is a big deal, a major surgery.
Monday we went for her pre-op appointment. Bluntly put, that appointment or better put what we learned at the appointment has flat out scared me. This is a very very serious major surgery. Long, slow and painful recovery, “6-8 weeks before she begins to feel human again”
Prayers please.
You and Vi and the surgeons will be in my prayers today and tomorrow Bill, and as the recovery progresses. I know I won’t be the only prayer warrior. A friend of mine told me this recently, “Remember, you don’t have to be strong, all you have to do is lean.” Much love to you both.
Hi Bill – certainly I will be thinking of you both .. and sincerely hope all will go well – the surgeons usually know what’s going on and are able to help so many of us … my thoughts and love HIlary
Many many many prayers. Hugs also! I am sure the surgeons put a lot of thought into this..this time round. Congrats Bill on making the 500,000 and still counting. God bless both of you. You both are in our thoughts.
Thinking of the two of you and wishing all the best to Vi. Focus beyond surgery and recovery when life will be so much better for Vi. May God bless and care for you both during this time.
I am a 61 year old male. At the age of 52 I was told by my doctor I am dying. For the past 4 years, I have done my best to deal with both congestive heart failure and a brain tumor, while knowing my days are indeed numbered. It is my hope that by sharing my experiences, I can encourage others faced with the same situation. I hope to also help the families of those individuals to have an understanding of the process and deal with the fear or dread of being around the dying.
I am not a doctor, not a man of the clergy, I am not a therapist. I am just me, Bill Howdle, I am merely sharing my thoughts and ideas. I write of death and dying, understand this is my personal prospective, based on what I am encountering.
