Hello all, This is Neil, April’s husband. April wanted me to give an update on her surgery and post-op status. Bare with my writing, I am not sure I will be as stylistic as April. So with that being said, I will give you an update and in accordance with April’s wishes, NO SUGAR COATING! […]

I have attempted to write this post for 4 days now. This will be my last post before the infamous surgery. I can’t say I am too thrilled about it. I thought my anxiety was bad last week. However, this week, it has gone to a whole new level. After having a very public panic attack in the […]
