I was wondering how those of you with kids handled talking about surgery. I have tried to be upbeat and cool with my daughter (almost 11), but she's gotten very clingy and doesn't want me to leave her at bedtime...she says she wants me now because she "won't have me later" -- when I'm at hospital/rehab. I'm suspect she's overheard me talking about some gory details with my husband or has picked up some worry/tension from me. She's a very sweet and sensitive girl. I don't know if I should avoid the subject, or bring it up with her so she can talk about it.
Trudy's death really threw me for a loop, and while I am aware that it was an extremely rare event, it happened. It's difficult not to think of her children. I am trying to be positive, but this tragedy really underscored the seriousness of this surgery for me. I just can't bear the thought of anything happening to me, for my daughter's sake.
Thanks for listening.......
