Life is Fragile...

So I am interrupting my life story about being a nurse to add some present day insight...my husband is 10 years older than I and has all the bad genes of his ancestors...Hypertension, Mixed hyperlipidemia, Diabetes and really bad anxiety....His hypertension has been somewhat controlled. His diabetes is a little controlled and his hyperlipidemia is difficult to control...He also developed atrial fibrillation about 3.5 yrs ago...and has been pretty well controlled with a beta blocker up until mid last year when the doctor placed him on an antiarrythmic which didn't work at all...we were referred to EPS specialist who recommended ablation therapy...my husband underwent a new ablation treatment yesterday using laser instead of radiao ablation...it is actually a study that by husband was enrolled in...the procedure actually took a little over 8 hours however my husband was actually off the unit for 12 hours....the procedure went well...we are keeping our fingers crossed that the procedure cures the a fib...my husband today is realizing he needs to be kinder to his body and eat and do what he needs to do to prevent problems down the road...a mantra that I have been saying to him for a long time but he always poo poo's me....I am hoping he really learns this mantra and lives by it...life is very precious...sometimes we do things to our bodies not knowing what the after effects can be....I love my husband...and want to be a wife to him I am also a nurse practitioner and know what needs to be done to prevent the bad things..i e cardiovascular disease...when I try to educate my husband I am not badgering him ..I am loving him and trying to educate him...I think he gets that now...anyone else out there that feels where I am coming from?
