    guys,its not very often I ask a favor from someone but I am asking now.
    the next time you have your head bowed in prayer over a meal or whatever occasion,would you please mention Sheryl in them please?
    thank you all.

    she dodged one big bullet this last month in that being tested for pain in her left leg the cat scan showed a very large growth on her right ovary,an inch and three quarters in diameter !!
    the doctors pretty much dumped their schedules to check her out and to hers and my relief,it was found to be a very large cyst that is benign,thank heaven ! there is another check up in August to keep an eye on it.

    now she is going to have surgery to have a stint put in the return artery to the heart in her hip as it is completely blocked with the rest of the artery being ninety nine percent blocked.
    a lifestyle change including many things is now in order to help the body rid itself of the blockage in the rest of the artery over the next year or two,or so we hope,if not an arterial replacement is in order.
    pray that the surgeons hands are guided through this and that recovery is swift for her as her leg has been in bad pain the last five months and she is extremely fortunate that the clot hasnt moved causing a stroke or death.
    we know stints are not the big deal they use to be and its now more or less an easy procedure.

    she is my whole life and has been the last seventeen years,without going into a lot of detail about what she has taught and meant to me these years past,I will just say the Iowaboy you all know is not the same person I was before her.
    I will just say that I honestly believe she is the very rare instance where the Good Lord allowed a flesh man marry his guardian angel.

    she is very convinced that I should still go on vacation without her,it is her choice and yes I feel like an ass for going.
    she will be in good hands as she is staying with our daughter who lives ten minutes from the hospital vs and hour and fifteen minutes if an emergency were to arise.
    the surgery is scheduled for next friday and I will be home saturday.

    thank you each and everyone of you,IDO has become our second family and it is good that we can lean on each other once in a while.
    may the Good Lord bless each of you in return.
    many thanks,Sheldon

    Prayers sent Sheldon. Amazing work doctors can do these days. The good Lord will guide their hands and i’m confident all will be well.

    On a lighter note……I’m not sure the good Lord himself can turn a bullhead guy like yourself into a Walleye fisherman. wink

    You ask, you get.

    The little lady will be in good hands and with our prayers for all concerned you have to know she’ll be fine. As mentioned, the doctors today can do amazing things so go knowing this. Travel safe and catch fish.

    I’m glad to hear the cyst is benign! And we hope that surgery goes well and that she can start to recover and hopefully be pain-free. Your wife sounds like a lovely lady. Our thoughts are with you both, Sheldon.

    I recommend you come home Thursday. I did the same thing one time and regret it.
    I hope it all turns out well and you serve her a fresh bullhead dinner.

    Best wishes Iowa Boy. I hope all turns out fine.

    We just had a possible breast cancer scare in the B-man house. Turned out to be nothing, but it was a reality check.

    It was a strong reminder not to sweat the small stuff in life. There are far more important things.

    I’d be lost without her.
