Oh dear HEAVEN. The hits just keep coming!
Todd is still scared spitless this morning. I had thot that his having accurate facts would ease his mind, but nope, he had his tonsils removed at the age of 7 and thats the last time he was in the hospital except for an overnite with kidney stones. So, just have to be calm and rational with him, but LET him be scared. I've been sliced and diced so many times that nothing phases me altho I was a BIT concerned about the neck surgery that could have rendered me mute, paralyzed or dead.....even did an advanced directive and a living will. So I'm really TRYING to understand the fear and support him any way that I can.
And, just a minute ago I got an email from my sister. She's not even said anything to her DH yet. The whole family had extensive testing in Grand Rapids with my nephews cardiologist. She's not heard a word from the specialist. But, her GP called this morning to let her know SHE has scheduled her with a cardiac surgeon because her echo shows a hole in her heart! WTH?????? This is my size 2, athletic sister who still runs MARATHONS despite having MS. Despite the fact that there IS another sister, because of her behavior when the second one died suddenly, I truely consider THIS sister the only one I've got.....
OK, I do know that the good Lord doesn't give us more than we can handle, but for HEAVENS sakes, we have to have a serious discussion her about just how strong HE thinks I am! I'm NOT made of granite for goodness sakes!
