How refreshing to have a post from a man who supports all of us and
understands! Now, if only everyone else, especially doctors, would jump
on board. Thanks Chris! While I am lukcy to be married to an
understanding and supportive man, many women aren't. Your wife is a
lucky woman. Good luck with the lap. I've had 3 and they really aren't
too bad at all. Just sore for awhile. She'll be fine if she has
someone as supportive as you!
