Should I Encourage My Husband To Have Operation ?

Should I encourage my husband to have operation that is high risk but would improve quality of life ? He no longer can play golf without pain. Can t take walks anymore; has lost interest in things he used to love because the pain is too severe. He is only 68 and could have many active years ahead; however he is fearful of another surgery .

Its really his decision.. personally, I would take a chance to have a better quality of life rather than a longer life
