For the past week or so I've mainly been reading here.
My wife, Liliana, has been visiting different doctors and labs to get tests done for the operation she will be having tomorrow. As it is a custom here, I will be staying in the hospital with her. She is terrified about this as she hates the idea of being put to sleep. I'm doing my best to keep her calm, but at times I feel like I'm not helping much. Just being there to support her does help a little.
Not sure how long she (we'll) be there, but obviously I'll be away for a few days at least. I'll keep you all posted when we get back.
Keep having wonderful sober days in the meantime. Bruce

Thanks for letting us know, Bruce. I wish you both the best of care & blessings for her procedure. I'm sure she's in fantastic service & will come out much better. Your presence with her sounds like a great support in this difficult time & I'm sure she'll feel that too. Prayers & recovery love for the two of you. See you when you return. In my thoughts til then, Daniella x

I'm sure that being with Liliana tomorrow will help her immensely. That kind of support is so valuable and necessary I think. I am going with my wife tomorrow while she has a biopsy done on her breast. Being a patient is always scary and it is great that we can comfort them in times like this.
