H has surgery today. Late this afternoon actually. They are going in through his neck, "SCOOTING" over his esophagus and then "decompressing" C5-7. I'm picking up both kids when I get off work and we're going to the hospital tonight. I couldn't take off work or I'd be glued to his hip today aggravating the hell out of him. Needless to say, I really do wish I could be at the hospital while he is in surgery.
I really hope this gives him the relief he needs.
But I am not feeling good about this.
In fact, the more I think about it, the more worried I get.
Maybe it's just because they're going in through his neck. Maybe that's what's freaking me out.
Amy, they've done this before, they have a good team I'm sure and things will go smoothly. Your concern is not unfounded, everyone has fear when a loved one goes through such a procedure, just put your trust in the doctors and your higher power and let them do what they need to do to make your husband better. You will all feel a lot better tomorrow, just get through today. There are a lot of people out there, friends, family, BB members, all saying little prayers. They'll be heard. Hubby will come through with flying colors and soon on the road to recovery.

Wow, I thought it was Thursday! I must have had some lysdexia kicking in. We are all with you Amy. And I can't blame you for being concerned, it is surgery, after all. Take care of him ,and the kids. When you can, let us know how it went.
Keep the faith.
