Bob, That sucks! I feel like just throwing my hands up and quitting some days. But then, I get some perspective (usually from my 3 and 5 year old) and realize that this is just a phase. I pray that you and your wife will both be good as new before long.

Hang in there Bob. We must be tireless, relentless, stubborn, never give up advocates for our health. I applaud you for dusting yourself off and keeping up the fight. As Terry says, we are nothing without our GOOD health. I hope your wife/you gets your surgery date soon. We're all pulling for you.
