So on a follow-up from my wife's procedure last Tuesday...
To those of you who did reach out, you guys rock...This community is 2nd to none...Being able to share this in a way that allows me to be candid but not feel like I am over-sharing has been profoundly therapeutic.
Recovering slowly but surely...pathology revealed significant damage to her lower abdomen which will inevitably lead to a hysterectomy.
The past few days and realizing that this is an indefinite conclusion to having children that she will carry has been the most difficult aspect. Follow-up surgery will require a more intensive procedure at a later time but for the moment, it's quality family time and managing pain.
Again, you guys are the best.
