Hi Ladies
Well, we are the lucky three as my husband has been wonderful, too. He made lists of questions with me and has been to all appointments. We made joint decisions when they were needed.
He drove 150 kms each day the week I was in hospital following three lots of surgery (two unexpected). Now, he massages my swollen sore chest with Bio-Oil every night !
We too have had financial issues as he is self-employed and work is light most of the time but at the minute it is non-existent.
The nursing staff told me that very few husbands - and even some of the women involved - will look at the operation site but we both felt that it is now part of our life (and the new 'me') so we did not leave it and let the issue build up in our minds.
To top it all off our beloved Great Dane had to leave us during the same time so he had a lot to cope with. We have no four-legged kids to assist.
Thank you, Sweetie, for all your support.
To other husbands/partners out there - please don't put your head in the sand to protect yourself - remember the reasons you are together and the vows you made to each other. Your true support now is sooooooo important and if you attend appointments etc you will learn a lot and not be so afraid for yourself or your partner.
Good luck to all. Keep safe and travel well along the way.
