Surf is UP !!!! @@
So- here we go ! 😣
The time has FINALLY come, but at the same time "suddenly” ... This Tuesday (tomorrow) my husband is having surgery at noon and according to written instructions he will be released next day to go home.
I am so very fortunate that our younger daughter lives in the same area so she will be giving us a ride and keep me company during procedure, otherwise the surgeon would be forced to put me "under" too 🥴 to stop my crazy pacing through corridors.
We are ready as much as one can be ready, all is sanitized, cleaned, cooked, folded and sparkly and stored in one place so there is no guessing "where the heck is that Senokot" 🙄. My brain is scrambled completely because of the stress and I feel like my fellow posters here that are on ADT - yesterday I called a bookcase "the thing with boards and books" XP.
Prayers and good vibes are welcome : ))), and I will keep you all posted about everything.
I also want to use this opportunity to thank everybody on this forum for every advice and every comforting word that I received since I came here in February (or was it March ?), I can not remember since all of those months are one very loooong blurry day that never ended ....
I will leave you now with a short poem : )) and will post again as soon as I can : ). HUGSSSS to allll !!!
If you believe in fairies,
ask them,
If you believe in God,
ask him,
If you believe in destiny,
ask it,
Ask them all to send healing
for surfer who sailed the seas,
trying to find peace,
but never found it.
Ask for gentle waves and siren songs,
the mistral breeze to bring him home.
I’ll be waiting,
forever,
without a cease.

@soli Hmmm....I have some fuel line clamps for the riding mower. Wonder if that would work for a catheter clamp and save a few bucks?
@fritzo Fuel line clamp? I had to Google Image Search that. Ouch. You're a brave man. Those things look very unforgiving. Probably handy for chopping up bananas, though...

1 ReactionActually, I ended up NOT using the cathether clamp: I found out it was easier to just crimp the cathether tube with my fingers. I will see if I can repurpose the clamp - as you suggested - for chopping bananas: that is, if ever I need to chop bananas 🙂

Thank you so much surftohealth88 for posting your journey with your husband.
He is very fortunate to have you as his partner through this journey. We are all very fortunate to have you sharing this information for those of us finding our way. Blessings and gratitude!
