Smile

Some smiles are needed right now.
HWMBO did not get a good report for his future health.
We will be ok, just need to process the whole information and reality. Thought we had a handle on all the info but some was held back from us.

It is no longer just a matter of 'yet another set of hips and all will be as it was'...but that second hip replacements are pure pain relief only. The number of things that can go wrong are astronomical.

Don't give me this shit about 'you are only sent that which you can bear'...that is pure rubbish.
There is no choice.

As so we have been told to 'sell up and move to easier quarters'.
Well we don't have an income so nosireeeeee...we can't do that. We will 'make do' and see how we can adjust the house which is actually our HOME, to accomodate our declining situation. We expected this at 68+...not now.

HWMBO will be turning 56 next Tuesday. I am taking him away for a 'naughty night'.

So no matter how much he dieted, or exercised, no matter how well he ate, or how much money he had...this is where we were bound to end up so soon, so soon.
Well...perhaps the lack of stress with the surety of a good income would have helped...would also help in not having to go on a 'waiting list' of 12+ months for the next op...but otherwise....here this lovely man is, through NO FAULT OF HIS OWN, accepting the next horror in the future.
