Has anyone heard from Kate3??

[Mary Kobe]

I just read where her husband is having surgery and was wondering if anyone has heard from her?

[Phyllis]

Not heard anything. Sure hope everything went well.

Here I am and I will be popping in when I can. Surgery was yesterday, his doctor is the best and a woman of course.
My daughter and I got the doom and gloom tour the day before showing us all the things that would happen to him and what he would look like for 2 days. They even took us to the ICU to look at some poor man that had the same surgery. So glad he was unconscious.
They don't know my husband, he is ultra fit and he didn't even look sick. This was found by accident and they didn't know why he was still standing after more tests to see just how bad it was. They told us he would be in an induced coma for 2 days, breathing on a ventilator then one more day in the ICU if all went well.
His amazing doctor fixed the unfixable. She told me she wouldn't have tried if he hadn't been so fit. He got rid of the breathing tube in 4 hours and is currently being moved out of ICU in less than 24 hours. They must be tired of trying to keep him still. He used to wonder where we got our over active child from.
I just spoke to him on the phone and he sounds the same as he did before surgery. I think he is in better condition after the surgery than I am. I have been an emotional wreck for days. I bet his 8 days in hospital recovery, if all went well becomes more like 4 or 5 days and they send him home to me.
I feel so blessed he had the doctor he did have. She is very much like he is and always thinks outside the square. I feel even more blessed that he will now probably outlive me. Not so thrilled he intends coming home to make me healthier. It is his fault I gained weight, he did it to me with this surgery. All is more than well so far. Thank you.

So happy to hear that things are going so well. I guess I missed the thread where it said your dh was having surgery. Hopefully when he comes home you can both inspire each other to being healthier. Keeping you and yours in my prayers for a complete and fast recovery.

[Mary Kobe]

Kate, keeping you and your family in my prayers.

[Tyler]

Glad things are well!

Just moving this thread to the Off Topics section.

Glad he is doing so well, Kate. Scary for you!

[LisaH]

[Gigi]

Glad all is going well.

Glad to hear your news Kate. Prays continue for full healing!

My husband got an infection today that could undo all of the work his surgery did. He should have been put onto a high strength intravenous anti biotic but his doctor has decided to wait until the morning to decide. I do not agree with her decision to wait. Thank you for the prayers.

[Retta]

Praying still Kate!

Kate it has been a couple of days since you posted about his infection. I pray that it has begun to clear up and he is on the mend. I hope you will be able to give us an update soon. Keeping you and he in our prayers!

Sorry, Yes he is well and I was right I got him home yesterday, Sunday, instead of next Thursday. He wouldn't get in his PJ's and he kept going up and down stairs all day. He wouldn't go to bed until midnight.
Today he felt what over doing it was like and he was so much quieter. I might not need that rope to tie him down after all.
He is being booked into Physio at a hospital near us but I don't think he needs it. He is still going because I am not telling him that and he should be off work for another 5 weeks. Other than a dry cough from the anaesthetic there is nothing wrong with him now.
He has always been fit and he never felt unwell. Now he is starting to see just how well he does feel after surgery. The good part is he can't go back to work until his surgeon signs off on him. Otherwise he would be there next week. I think men are worse than kids after surgery. Thank you all.

Oh I am so glad!!! I'm sure you can handle him! LOL Blessings.
