I just talked with my husband. I could tell something was wrong as soon as I heard his voice. He has to have surgery! and he is scared to death! I tried to tell him that if it was life threatening, then yes, but it's not and to think how much better he is going to feel. He also has arthritis so that is a concern.

He asked if he could wait 3 months, to get things taken care of before the surgery. My suggestion was to not wait any longer than a month. We have always gotten through tough times and will again.

One of the things he wants to get done is getting a will made. We should have done this a long time ago I know, but now he wants it done before surgery. So, it will be done.

He already knows from talking with the Dr. that he most likely will not be able to go back to work doing the same thing he is now (auto body repair). I told him not to worry about it...that we've managed in tight times before, we will again.

Even though I KNEW it would have to be surgery, I am kind of shaking here myself. Mostly because I'm not in control and can't do anything.
