(17,622 posts)...I am SO sorry.
Hubby went thru a health scare just recently. A routine health examine revealed a massive tumor on his kidney. He had surgery 2 weeks ago....they removed a baseball size cancerous tumor on his kidney and two other benign tumors (one football size!) on his appendix. The drs said it was a very serious complicated surgery and wouldnt even tell us for days if it was curative (it was!) Talk about tears, fear..sleepless nights...daily commutes to the facility... 90 min away. My only child over 2 hrs away with a family of her own to care for.
One thing we got from this was we are moving to the same town as my dtr (near Seattle) as soon as hubby retires in march ( I made that decision for him). Just the logistics of singlehood was overwhelming.
Im so glad you have 3 grown children to help you. Stay strong. Take care of yourself. Check in frequently. We love you. (((hugs)))
