We were concerned about waiting so long for surgery, but Dr. K did not have an opening until then. For the first couple weeks of August Chris actually felt pretty good. My sisters came out one at a time to help. Chris tried to go back to work so they babysat for us. In the evening it was a fun distraction to have them there. It was a much needed emotional break. We truly had an outpouring of support from Chris' and my family.
Towards the end of August, Chris started to experience a lot more pain. We were still trying to have some positive time as a family so he was a trooper as we did Niagara Falls, went on the Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds. We also went to an amusement park. It was tough on Chris but the kids really enjoyed it.
Before we knew it (o.k. not really, it seemed to drag on), Chris' surgery date arrived. We were scheduled to be at the hospital by 6:30 in the morning.
