I know it's been forever and we have just been doing our best to go on about living our lives without boring everyone with every detail. Paul is scheduled to undergo major hip surgery next month and it's a pretty big deal. This surgery has been a long time coming .... he was even scheduled last August and we basically chickened out and cancelled it. Since then, our brains have come to terms with the fact that this surgery will benefit Paul's quality of life in the long run but our hearts want to grab our sweet boy and run. He has been through so much and how can I hand him over to a surgeon knowing the pain that was to come with no real benefit other than trying to reduce the chance of future pain and complications.
So, I decided it was important to write it all down for several reasons. First, it is therapeutic for me to get these thougts out. It's a really big deal and quite frankly, I am scared. Like, really, really scared. Legit ... scared. Second, I am an information seeker! I am always desperate for similar experiences, good and bad, laid out for me so I am aware of the possibilities. I need that so if our story can give that to someone else, that is great.
And finally, just want to keep my peeps informed ❤ and to request the love, prayer, good vibes and support that have sustained us over the past 5 1/2 years. That's it for now ... Love to all!!
