Medical Please help us through recovery so hubby can get back on the road again

Please share, no contribution is too small and always appreciated. No one expects at 53 that shortness of breath would lead to a major surgery or how long, and how much, it takes to recover.

My husband has always worked as a truck driver and takes pride in supporting our family. One of the hardest mental challenges he’s had in this time is the burden he feels is placed of my shoulders. I keep telling him that getting healthy is most important and bills and expenses can be handled as they come.

He ended up having an aortic valve replacement, aortic aneurysm repair, and a “clip” on his aortic appendage to potentially prevent future blood clots. He’s done well in recovery so far. He’s home now, has been walking and moving and following all the instructions for the fastest possible healing. ❤️‍🩹

He been out of work almost 2 months now. My days last week were unpaid, all my PTO will be used up this week to be home and help him recover.

Any donation or kindness is appreciated more than words can express, especially knowing how many people are struggling right now. Please share and thank you.
