- so true sara he gets me up and going everyday and i hope to continue on our routine before surgery and then ride bikes with him after!!! I don't want him to see me in hospital right after but once i am able...the unfortunate part of this is his father...who has caused great grief and has no compassion whatsover towards this wants to go to court over this....there is no way i am leaving him behind!!! especially since he only goes with him every second weekend now....i am in for a battle....and really hope a judge has more sense and compassion than him!!!
