You know, most people, facing surgery, would think it was kind of a big deal.
At this writing, Adored Wife has hernia surgery coming up. By the time this publishes it'll be over with--I'm a few days ahead on the blog. To her, it's just one more thing. She deals with so many health issues on a regular basis that this isn't really fazing her. She's sorted out the scheduling, made sure insurance has it covered, we have a convalescent plan, and then, enh, it's just another day.
When she recovers from this she'll probably go ahead and get the major carpal tunnel issues taken care of.
The only thing really concerning her is that, post-abdominal surgery, many people have to use their arms to do a lot of the moving around their stomach muscles normally handle. AW can't really bear any weight on her arms, so that's an issue.
No problem. I shall lend her whatever strength she needs (he said gallantly.) I'm taking a little time and, with all due modesty, I'm really remarkably strong.
The only thing worrying ME is that she gets cranky and bored when she's laid up. I'll have to make sure to come up with some projects she CAN do to keep her busy, or there'll be no living with her. The computer is a wonderful thing.
Ya'll pray for us now, you hear?
Thanks, friends, and God bless.
Addendum: Surgery went well, and she's had an uncomfortable couple of days, which was to be expected. All things considered she's doing okay and is behaving herself. Which, you know, is kind of surprising.
