I Love My Husband

He is a dear-heart! ❤️ He called his old neighbor/buddy to see how he was doing. He found out things are not good at all. His buddy said... They tell me I am losing it. So, my husband arranged to drive 6 hrs to visit him so they could catch-up. He left before dawn's light today.

My husband is a VERY strong man, disciplined, and has a firm grip on his emotions. He never complains or want much...lol… but for/from me 🥰 No problem!
But for anyone to check up on him... well... I guess they all see him for being the giver, strong and full of energy...a special soul. They have no idea!!!!!!

He was born with a .. missing flipper on one of his heart values. The doctor told him he is beating all the odds. That most people with this problem needs a heart value replacement in their 40-50s. He is 71.
BUT... lately, his blood pressure is so low he feels exhausted. His heart rate is staying too low too. So... he goes to see the heart doctor here in a couple of weeks for his bi-yearly check up.

I was picking up around the house and found notes my husband had written on heart value replacements. He had a few question marks on this paper.
I know him...
The doctor said that my husband would tell him when he felt it was time to do the procedure.
He is ready! 😟 He has not spoken a word of this. He holds this inside him tightly. I have been catching him using my blood pressure machine, taking his blood pressure.. I sneak back and look to see the results. 😞

My prayers, my love, my devotion for him...my caring is so deep, it forces tears to my eyes. He doesn't want to worry me... nor do I him.

I know he will be just fine. We will. My faith is stronger than my fear!!!!

My husband got bacterial endocarditis and had to have a mitral valve replacement when he was 60. My father in law had one at age 80 due to a congenital defect. They both did great. The doctors and care teams for valve replacement are awesome!

How blessed you both are to have found each other.

@Mk8155 Thank you! At the end of the month, we will know the results and the rest of the story. He goes to the heart surgeon then. We are feeling positive about this.
