Teresa, thank you for the invite. I am on the site as a spouse. I have learned so much here! My husband had a distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy for on 1/23/23. His recovery has been atypical, so much so that I hesitate to share it for fear of raising other’s anxiety for their own journey. Complicating the issue is that he is not one who wants to talk about it, or likes it when I do!
