Hanging on one day at a time

The last few months have been such a roller coaster!In the past month alone my husband has had surgery for a kidney stone and a few days ago he had a gastric bypass. Soon he will need to have surgery to replace a disc in his neck. His spinal cord is compressed and the longer he waits the more function he will lose in his hand and arm. I realized I have been keeping to myself and isolating. So today I am reaching out again. I have done my best to practice self care and this is the next step. So good morning everyone. I hope you have a wonderful day.

“Never think that you are insignificant in this world... never think that you have no influence.” Thank you for sharing. It’s very encouraging.

How’s your husband? I hope he is doing well after his surgery. Praying for God’s protection in his upcoming surgery.

Continue to share. Groups like this can help us to feel less lonely and alone. God bless.

My husband is doing well. Having a great deal of pain at times but like me he is taking things one day at a time. I try not to feel insignificant but when medical issues come up I often do. My husband is a nurse, my son is a paramedic and my daughter is also a nurse. Medical matters aren't in my wheelhouse. Thank you for your encouragement and prayers. They help more than you know.
