A new journey begins

In hopes of starting a new "life" with J I begin a new blog as well! My dear husband of 8 years has had his 3rd back surgery today. Today they removed 28 screws and 2 titanium rods that were placed in his back just over 2 years ago. Things really have been rough for us and I am praying that this is what he needs to move on and improve his outlook on life. I have dealt with his anger and his pain for 4 years now and things just haven't gotten any better But today, today the pain is supposed to go away. The doctor has removed the hardware that was causing him so much discomfort and I just *know* this is a new beginning. His patience will come back to us as well as the humor and the joy he used to have. :) So as I sit here in the hospital by his side I will trust the doctor when he says that this will be a relief to J and we will begin our journey to heal his body and repair our marriage.
