Not mentioned are the emotions and struggles faced by our caregivers; husbands,, friends and family. My husband has been the best and most supportive of anyone I could wish. I thought we had everything prepared fairly well before surgery. But afterwards reality kind of sank in. We live on a small farm and I'm usually the one who feeds everyone and cleans all the pens, etc. Suddenly he was in charge and had an enormous adjustment. He had to take care of me, the house snd all the animals. I could tell he was down and overwhelmed. It took about a week for everything to settle and fall into place before he was able to find a routine and "smile" again.
