We've made it to surgery day. Fiancé and I will be heading to the hospital in a mere 4 hrs. The nerves of the procedure itself set in for him last night and I've been an on and off wreck as the last week has gone by.

I know this is the best possible thing for him physically, emotionally, and for our family's health. But, damn, I wish we didn't have to do this. I hate change; it's scary and paralyzing, but there's no turning back now!

We're starting a whole new life as a family and once he takes that step, it's on! Well get through the different stages of recovery and eventually family dinners might feel more normal, smaller for him, but normal, and healthier for all of us.

*phew* I'm glad I got that off my chest.

Wish us luck!!

You guys are going to do great. I love that I had to read it twice to figure out it was him doing the surgery. You are working as a solid pair and that is very encouraging. Keep up the great attitude!

Love that you are taking such a proactive role in preparing for his recovery and are being so supportive through this process. Not all of us have that. Make sure he knows how lucky he is!

Mom always said that if you can't say something nice, say nothing...but I can't.

Maybe I am off base but to me there is something very strange about your post, your words. Almost scary.

I wish him the best of luck

Thank you all for the kind words and support. We just checked into the hospital and because Fiancé is a "surgeons dream" the reps from the hospital want to follow him through the process. Feeling good so far!

He's holding up well; we're delayed 2hrs, so we're just hanging out spend some quality time. He should be in surgery by 230 ish they say. Wonderful staff here! Thanks very much for asking!

UPDATE: Fiance's surgery ran long but went well. We were able to visit with him in recovery for just a little bit, but that's just as well because he was very groggy from anesthesia. Heading back over to see him this afternoon...first taking our three month old to the docs, because ya know when it rains, it pours
