frualeydisHi friends!
I have now had my hernia surgery and I am back home. Apparently it was one of the biggest hernias the surgeon had seen and it took some work just to get my intestines inside mu stomach again. i am tired and don't sit much by the computer, but otherwise I am fine. I stayed four days in hospital and got home on Monday. I am wearing a girdle/corset 24 hours a day to make it possible for my muscles to heal and for the titanium net that they have placed inside my abdomen to bond with them. I will have to wear it all the time for three weeks, and then nights for a couple of more weeks. I am not allowed to bedn over or lift anything heavier than a book. I am trying my best, because it it breaks now, there isn't much they can do to fix it.
We also have two new kittens: Esau, who was abandoned just some days old with her (yes, her; long story) two sisters and has been bottle fed and is extremely social, and Kenya, who was born in the wild and is very shy.
They are ca 13 and 16 weeks old. At first Kenya just hid under the bathtub and only ventured out when we were asleep or away from home , but the last two days she has actually played with Esau when we are in the same room. She still doesn't want us to come near her, but she's getting braver and braver.
Kenya is the one staring at us.
