Another Life Event

I have stood beside my husband, my partner of 42 years, through yet, another medical event. Three and a half months ago, quite accidentally, they found an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) on a CT scan of his leg and back. After numerous further tests and specialist appointments, it was finally repaired today. We were worried, because he was like a ticking time bomb, a 6+ cm. bubble in his main artery could burst at any time. He has already been through a fire at age 6, a war in Vietnam where he was severely injured twice, a couple of car accidents, a motorcycle accident, and then the BIG one, a heart attack with quadruple bypass, kidney failure, kidney dialysis, a right peritoneal bleed, sepsis, c-diff, and staph infections, a pulmonary embolism, defibrillator, 3-1/2 toes amputated, and now this AAA. You've heard of cat's with 9 lives, right? I don't know which life Jim is on now, but my hope is to keep him around for awhile longer. Because, you see, he's my best friend and I know God is keeping him around for a really, really, good reason!
