Hi All,
Thank you for your support and friendship here on the Forum, which means a whole lot to Barbara. She has been in hospital now for a week (here in Spain) with kidney failure and the doctor is going to put in a shunt into her chest on Wednesday, then let her go to 3-a-week dialysis... and home. She will apparently have the shunt changed for a wrist-connection in a month. Perhaps that all sounds 'normal' to some of you!
Anyhow, I'm her husband and I love her.
A Group Hug - thanks everyone!!"

I will pray that Barbara will feel better and be home with you very soon. Tell her that we love her and are thinking of her.

Dear Lenox,

It is so good of you to share this. It is upsetting, but I'm glad to hear she will be going home and that she has such a loving husband to care for her. Bless you.

Kidney failure has happened to some of us on the forum, but not most, I think. Some of us have had an easier time with this disease than others, though we never know when things may turn for the worse. Barbara has been through much more than I and many others on here have been through so far. Yet, ultimately, she will get back up on her horse and ride. It is bringing tears to my eyes to think of her bravery and persistence at making the best of each day. Please share with her my love, prayers, and best wishes.

I'm praying for your speedy recovery. As others have said you have a horse waiting patiently for you to get back in the saddle again. It's good you are getting the help you need even if it does mean you have to be in the hospital. Hugs to you both.

Lenox, I just what to say what everyone else has already said. Barbara is such a strong willed woman and she will get though this. I feel soooo bad of all that she has been though already and I pray she will be back home to you and her horse soon, And that the dialysis isn't too rough for her. Please keep us updated and tell her we love and miss her here.

Give her a big hug from Nashville, Tennessee!
