The Surgery

The past two weeks have been a wee bit different.  For a relatively healthy home a shoulder surgery opened many eyes!  The story goes... Mr. Ace started feeling pain in his left shoulder about a month ago.  It was so painful he encountered many sleepless nights (not normal).  On Thursday the 6th of October he had an x-ray and the doc found a deposit of calcium on his rotator cuff.  Which lead to surgery on the 13th.  It was crazy!  The surgery is ranked one of  the top 5 most painful surgery's due to the nerves that bundle in the shoulder.  The out come was great they got all of the calcium removed and then put a suture in the tendon where the calcium had eaten through the rotator cuff.   The worst part for him was coming out of the anesthesia unfortunately he gets violently ill.  Needless to say he was and is a champ.  The kid to this day has not complained once.  With a successful surgery there is now a successful recovery. 

Mr. Ace spent a week at home recovering.  I cannot remember the last time he was home with nothing on his agenda.  It was such a nice time for he and I.  The first night he was home my parents were kind enough to take the kids because we were not sure what the night or morning was going to entail.  Truth to be told it was great.  Great to for us, great for our relationship.  I think parents often times get so focused on caring for their children that they forget to care for their spouse.  We get caught up in the day to day grind and by the time lights are out we have not said a word to each other or shared any affection towards one another.  We woke up the next morning and spent 3 hours shooting the breeze about life, goals, new interests, memories, and excitement of our new little one.  Another thing was he needed me,  he need my help, and best of all he let me!  He let me help him and care for him.  It was such a great week for the kids and I we feel SO spoiled we got to be home with daddy all week.  It may not have been as great from him but I would sure do it again.
