Anne - prayers are going up!
My mom has had both of hers replaced and they were a year apart. She said she wished she could of had them done at the same time cause she dreaded going through it a second time. But she was in no shape then or now to do such a thing. Luckily your DH is!
Lean on us when you can, that's why we are here.
