The kitty grief hits me in waves. She was one of my first babies. H even used to dress her in a little baby sleeper (which she of course hated) years ago. We had gotten those two cats about 6 months after we moved in together, so now that they're both gone, it kind of has all this extra baggage attached to it too.
I may be underestimating the surgery, but I don't think it will be too big of a deal. I'm comparing it to my section and IMO, it seems like this will be cake provided they don't send me home with a newborn to take care of at the same time! If only I can talk the surgeon into doing a little nipping and tucking while he's there. I had two lower hernia surgeries when I was 3 (which I remember VIVIDLY!) and then my section almost 6 years ago. This is an umbilical hernia, but thanks to my 9+ lb baby, he made a mess of my stomach skin. LOL
