He has been taking care of me all day. He is so sympathetic, he knows how much this
hurts because he has had a nephrectomy, and he is very encouraging about how
well I am doing. He is bringing me
things to drink, and making sure I don’t have to bend over to pick things up,
and asking me if I need anything.
We were sitting watching the world series baseball game this
evening when he turned and said to me, “I don’t want you to think about
donating any other parts of your body.
That’s it!” And I told him that I
had every intention of keeping all the rest of my body, and I said how much I
appreciated that he had let me do this.
I really wanted to donate, and he had not stood in my way, and has been
very supportive. That’s the type of guy
he is, and I am very thankful for him. He is a wonderful husband!
Tonight was an
evening of thankfulness, just being together, being able to be in a warm house,
and eat a tasty meal that some friends had dropped off for us, and to have the
operation behind us. And good pain
medication! When I take the pills they
prescribe, I am really in no major discomfort.
