Cancelled Surgery :(

Had to cancel my surgery. My husband lost his job yesterday and unfortunetly we are unable to afford it at this time. He feels bad about it, but I don't want him to know how disappointed I am.

    I am sorry that your husband lost his job and that you had to cancel the surgery. Sending positive energy and the assurance that things will turn around soon. Try to remain encouraged.

Sorry to hear about this hurdle in your path. I too had to postpone my surgery due to an accident that put me out of work for a time.

These things usually have a way of working themselves out.

You are doing the right thing by not making a big deal of it to your husband. He just took a huge kick in the teeth. he needs you to remind him that he is a good provider.

Keep positive, your attitude will directly affect his. There is a better job out there waiting on him, or maybe this is time for him to strike out on his own, and make one of his hobbies a business.

If he hasn't yet I would suggest he reads the book "48 days to the work you love". This could turn into the greatest opportunity he has ever had.

I'm sorry to hear about your husband losing his job. I know you're disappointed, so often we have to put our greatest desires on hold for the sake of our families. I pray that he finds work soon and that you're able to reschedule your surgery. I too have pondered surgery for a long time and had to put the thought aside due to my husband being out of work. Stay encouraged and know that this too shall pass.

Sorry to hear about your surgery and your Husband, hang in there you will make it over this hurdle and on to your dreams. Praying for peace and patience.

Oh, I am so sorry! Praying he finds a job soon and your weight loss journey continues as planned.

Sometimes its hard to understand why our plans get interrupted, but most of the time we understand the reason once we've passed through the storm. Hopefully this is a short storm for you and your husband! Heck, who knows, maybe there is a better job right around the corner and it will have insurance benefits that will pay for surgery!! :D

Hugs!

Awe man, feel bad for you both! Prayers that everything will work out for you all! Hang in there!
