UPDATE ON VAL
On the 1st of October, Val (my wife ) was rushed to the hospital , coughing up a lot of blood . 2 days later they transferred her to a hospital 2 towns away . She has since had 2 surgical procedures to try and stop the bleeding from her lungs . Both procedures went “well”. But we have had a few scares since . Still signs of blood coming up, but a lot less . and hopefully just just leftover from the procedures . She also developed a large hematoma in her leg. etc etc etc ...
Needles to say .. I have been scared shitless since . Shes is still in the hospital.
Anxiety is off the charts . and this up and down good news / bad news is killing me . I honestly think Val is dealing with it better than me . She is a trooper that’s for sure . Please keep her in your thoughts and we will take any good vibes you have to send .

Prayers and positive thoughts for healing and strength. I know how terrifying it is watching a spouse with health issues, experienced a lot of terror seeing my wife go through open heart surgery over a year ago.
