Hi Adrian, Steve here, usually leave the correspondence to herself as she’s better at it than me, or so she keeps telling me.
just wanted to thank you and all the other supportive contributors on here, it really has been invaluable to Debbie and myself, although she does the posts and and all the research, we do share the ‘reading’ and discussions.
Yes, as you say, I am very lucky to have Debbie, (I’m not just saying that as she will read this!), we have shared 43 years together, ups and downs to deal with which is just life but this last couple of years has certainly been the most difficult period where she has had to be the strong one, that’s how I see it anyway!
I’m sat pretty helpless at the moment; on a special cushion, whilst Debbie runs around trying to anticipate my every need (she’s not very good at sitting still for long). Fortunately we share the same sense of humour, but it’s wearing thin at the moment as she keeps on telling me it can’t be any worse than the two episiotomies she had to have giving birth to our two children!!
The surgery wasn’t as bad as the anticipation of it, post surgery is a bit more challenging but from what I remember it’s on a par with when I had my vasectomy 30 years ago (because she said she wasn’t having any more episiotomies!).
over and out for now
Steve
