The "Thing"

I call it the "Thing"

It has followed us like a plague since end of December...
We were quite lucky in a way as if they had not found the "Thing" my husband may not be here today...
What is the "Thing"...It is an Abdominal Aneurysm...I even learned how to spell it...
The Family Doctor found it in late December so that meant tests...
Kat Scans, MRI's, Ultra Sounds, Heart Catherization tests going to the Heart specialists and
the Surgeon...

Fortunately for me I had a friend whom had the same thing with her husband last year...
She told me all this was Normal and that it would take awhile...

Well He finally had surgery in Late February...Yea!! He was good to go and we were rid of the "Thing" or so we thought...
Here it is April and we are still waiting on a release from the Dr to return to FULL duty from Light duty...Well now that Stint they put in is leaking and hubby needs more surgery...Even though we got rid of and aneurysm the "Thing" is back to plague us...

So he is again scheduled for Surgery...in a couple weeks...
We are soooo tired of "The Thing"!!!
We think will this ever be over with??? Will the "Thing" ever be gone?? Or are we just aging to the point to where we will have health problems now??

We have resolved that "The Thing" will NOT stop us from enjoying our life, Our camping, our marriage...we will get through it and live to tell how we survived "The Thing"!!!
