I can breathe now
The husband came through surgery just fine, with no neurological deficits! When I left he was 99.99% clear of the risk of complications, so he should be coming home tomorrow!
Today was also the first anniversary of my father’s passing, so I’m sure you can all imagine how emotionally intense the day was. (Yes, life-threating-but-saving surgery for my husband on the date my dad died. What higher power did I tick off?) I’m SO glad it’s over and I’m curled up on the couch watching TV with my mom.
I don’t have enough words to thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. So I simply thank you from the bottom of my heart. :heart:

What shitty timing. But at least you get all your angst out all at once.
Now get your husband home and cuddle with him. Everything’s going to be all right.
Hugs babe.

Fabulous! I was certain this was how it would go, but it’s a relief for you all to be through it. I’m so glad.
And like Jaci said, the timing obviously makes it more emotionally intense, but at least it’s not as prolonged!
Big hugs to everyone!

I’m sorry about the crappyness (is that a word?) of this falling on that anniversary. :hug: However, what good news that your dh came through it well and will be coming home. I’ve been thinking and praying for you all. :heart: Take care.

So glad to hear the good news, Shan!

Ah, thank God. I am so very, very happy to hear he’s home and all is (relatively) well. If there’s anything I could possibly do to help, just yell.

:hug: :hug: :hug: Because I’m late. I feel like a horrid friend. We were away and when I saw this, my heart stopped.
I’m echoing everyone else on the shitty timing of all of this and I’m glad that you have hubby home and I’m glad that everything is going to be okay.
:hug: :hug: :hug:

My God, Shan, I just found out about what happened to your husband. I’m so very glad he’s alive and well. How unbelievably frightening this must have been for all of you–I honestly can’t begin to imagine. And then to have the surgery fall on the anniversary of your dad’s passing… You’ve been dealt far more than your share of stress.
Please know that I’m keeping you and your husband in my thoughts and prayers, Shan. Take care of yourself and grab the first opportunity for a relaxing getaway as soon as your husband is up to it.
