Re: Yes! Progress!

I think I would have, too. And at first he thought he needed to have the surgery, but the chiropractor he works with actually half-talked him out of it, and he made the final decision. I thought she was overstepping, but she's very strongly opinionated about some things, and he was in that fear mode where he was about to go through with it, so in retrospect I'm glad she gave him that push because I wouldn't have. Canceled it the night before, and the surgery center didn't even find out about it till the next morning when he didn't show up, somehow they didn't get the message. He told me he thought this was kind of a challenge from the universe to deal with his fear issues (like mine was last year with my appendix crisis - I didn't deal so well with mine!), and that he'd be a better bodyworker if he could heal it himself and not give into that fear. I think it was a mix of his own knowledge, faith, and luck. And maybe some divine intervention. Absolutely NO ONE else thought this was a good idea, but he did it anyway. That's some fortitude!
