Your wife sounds like an extraordinary woman...I know personally how important it is to have someone like that help you through this process, while I talk a good line, I don't think I could have gone through all this alone without the constant support of my wife. Your own attitude is also to be admired, playing the cards that you've been dealt without anger, or blame is not an easy thing to do. Many of us try to look outside ourselves for the answers, and the strength to endure. But those that are able to work within the confines of their new and constantly changing physical self, frequently with severe limitations, are the ones who inspire me the most. I hope your next surgery goes without a hitch, and we hear back from you soon that all went well.
