Shortly after our wedding, my husband was diagnosed of prostate tumour.

This was a year ago.

We got a good hospital to do Prostatectomy. My husband was to spend three to five days days at the hospital after the surgery.

He was admitted a day before the surgery.

On the day of the surgery, I was there when he was wheeled into the surgical room.

Immediately he was wheeled in, I called my girlfriend and my younger sister to meet me at a hotel which was our favourite hangout spot. I told them to get me my swimsuit while coming.

We swam in the pool for a while before ordering for a bottle of wine. The pool side was really calming.

After few hours, I was hungry.

I ordered for fried rice and peppered gizzard. I was about eating it when my phone rang. It was my husband.

I was surprised. What happened? Didn't they do the surgery again?

I picked the call and a weak voice came from the other end "I am through".

"Hian! You are through? How? The surgery doesn't take a lot of time?"

"Please come and give me something to eat. I have been wheeled out for a couple of hours now. The anaesthesia has even worn off and I am very sore."

Chukwu oooo!

I was screaming and broke the news to my friend and my sister of his successful surgery.

I tried to quickly eat my food but e no gree go again and so I asked for it to be packed in a takeaway.

I was rushing to go back to my husband. I even hit my right leg against a table when I was running into the ward.

I rushed into the ward, lo and behold, my darling was out.

It is a year he had that successful surgery.

Happy survival my love.
