Tomorrow morning Jon goes in for his Varicocele repair surgery. The doctor gives this him a 66% chance of success, yet we won't know until February if it indeeds improves his sperm production. Both Jon and I are very eager that the day is finally here as he scheduled this procedure about 8 weeks ago and it seemed like "forever" away at the time he scheduled it, yet now time has flown and it is a true measure as to quick the passage of time really is.
Jon is excited, but I sense he's starting to feel a little nervous about how the morning will unravel. I, on the other hand, can't stand the thought that Jon will be put to sleep for 3 hours and wish I could trade places with him so he doesn't have to put himself through such an invasive procedure...I admire my husband for being so brave to do this, yet I know that he perceives this is as our only suitable option before we consider more aggressive and costly options of either IVF (we probably won't ever pursue this option, but never say never) or adoption. Even if this doesn't deem successful at least we will know that we tried. If it is successful, then hopefully our level of fertility goes back to "normal" and we'll never have to worry about infertility issues hindering our ability to conceive in subsequent pregnancies.
Send good vibes our way and wish us luck tomorrow!
