For the several of you who expressed...

[Mike]

concern a few weeks ago, when I related that my wife was anticipating surgery...

It occurred last week...it was successful...she's home (and I'm the caregiver :confused: ) I thank you for the expressions of concern.

Hey Mike, I hope your wife is good as new before long! It's got to be hard on you also. Take care of both of you. :)

Mike, I was unaware as well. Best get well wishes to your wife. Please also take good care of the caregiver. I know well how caregiving for even short time periods can be so stressful. It's vital.

[Jack]

Mr. Mom, I'm also glad everything went well, and I hope that she will have a great recovery .

[Whitey]

Glad it went well, Mike. Hope things continue to go well for both of you.

Mike I know your wife is in the best of care right now, and I hope she has a speedy recovery.

[maria]

OHH mike, i didn't know! I hope her recovery is as easy and quick as possible. I am sure you will be a fine caregiver. Best Wishes.

May God grace you with the patience to take care of your patient. You both will be in my prayers.

[Magnolia Viper]

Mike, wasn't aware and am glad that things went well. Best to you both.

[Denny]

Glad to hear the good news (even though I never heard the bad news first). Good luck with the caregiving.

Will you be taking advantage of the Democratic Party's Family Leave Act legislation, passed by Clinton in 1993 after years of Republican resistance, to ensure your job is safe during this period?

(Sorry -- couldn't resist. Well -- it is a political discussion board!)

I hope both of you have a nice, happy and wonderfull life for as much time as you want to have (OK,.. Eternity is not an option, but it's possible to do more than that with hope and will. I know you have both).

Adding my well wishes for you both. As many have said, I too was unaware. Hoping the recovery is as swift and painless as possible.http://www.cee.odu.edu//stuff/flower.gif

Same here, Mike. The best caregivers get the lotion out and give really good foot rubs, Mister. Get going--you should have very strong fingers after all the stuff you post here!

I wasn't trolling for sympathy, but to all of you who responded...as they say in Spain...

MUCH GRASS

I appreciate it. For those of you who've done it...emptying abdominal drains is the pits...

Too much information!!

Sigh...

Love is a powerful thing, ain't it?

.....For those of you who've done it...emptying abdominal drains is the pits.....
It gets easier. And it's very rewarding to see the improvement from day to day.

Best wishes to you both for a speedy and uncomplicated recovery.

I can relate to the abdominal drain, just make sure you wipe the opening so it doesn't drip.
