Yhe surgery went well and they did not have to use mesh on the hernia which is a huge praise. They were able to just stich it up....(I am sure it is more complicated than "just stitching it up"...lol). We were able to see him about 1.5 hours after surgery. He is doing well just having some pain...more than he expected. Hopefully we can get out of here in the next hour or so.
As I have been waiting I purposely did not bring any school stuff with me. I need to unplug from that part of my life for a few days. Not in a bad way I just need a mental break. So I have been reading a book for pleasure. It is a book by a lady I follow on social media about her husbands struggle with anxiety. Now don't get me wrong David doesn't struggle with anxiety or depression but I have in a strange way found comfort in reading the book. I don't really connect with what she went through with her husband but it is comforting to read a book about a care giver and I can understand the feeling of helplessness she felt at times in wanting to fix her husband but not being able to. What I am encouraged about is that she kept her eyes on God. She didn't always have a great attitude but she never gave up her hope in the Lord.
I am not even a fourth of the way through the book but I love it. I do want to be clear that I am not complaining one bit about taking care of David...I have enjoyed every second of it in one way or another! I kinda miss it now...lol.
Oh boy...getting discharged from hospital now!!!
Love, alice
