MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - 2020 has been marked by pain and loss for Pat Huber.
“Since March, I’ve gone through a lot, and it doesn’t want to stop,” he said.
The 71-year-old Vietnam War veteran needed a hip surgery in March, but recovery was cut short. He knew his wife Bonnie didn’t have much time left.
“I wasn’t even in the hospital for 12 hours,” he said. “Three days [after I came home], my wife passed.” This would be the first time doctors at the Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital had let him out early.
