This is good news for both of you. I understand what you are both dealing with as I'm in a similar situation with my wife's health issues (autoimmune disease constant pain and pills by the bucket load) I don't talk about it generally but felt the need to express my support.
I hope this surgery helps your wife and you to cope with the ongoing stress. I know how tough it is.
I'm constantly amazed at how people manage to keep going with these kind of health issues. It is truly awe inspiring and amazing at the same time.
My wife's had this illness since 2005. She's almost lost the fight a few times but she a tough old bird. Must be her Scots heritage 😊👍🏼
I am sorry you guys are going through similar issues. That would be so hard to deal with an autoimmune disease. I hope that your wife can get some relief from the pain. She sounds like a tough woman. Thank you for supporting her through all of this. Women are a lot tougher than they get credit for.
Public awareness of these kind of illnesses can be frustrating as on the surface the afflicted person may look and seem fine and in perfect health.
I used to get mightily annoyed when people who should know better (doctors) offer stupid suggestions like. "Have you tried exercising?" etc. Maybe they are just ignorant of the condition?
My wife also has a very misunderstood condition called fibromyalgia which means pain throughout the body and is actually made worse by exercising!
I do wonder sometimes where these doctors have been taught?
That sounds miserable. I hope that she can find relief and have a better quality of life.
As I'm sure you'll agree. It is what it is and we have adapted to the situation. Life goes on and we have to make the most of it.
Give my regards to your wife and hope she finds some relief too. 👍🏼
