Barbara is right, I'm 41 (soon 42), and this makes the risk much higher for me. And I was told I'd have to stay in hospital for a week (+ or - a couple of days). Right now, I really have to say I envy the American people for leaving the hospital much sooner after a surgery. 3 years ago, I was surprised when I heard that the mother of an American online friend left hospital only one day after her disk hernia surgery. I had to stay 10 days after mine!! And after that, I was lucky that I was allowed to go home instead of going 4 more weeks to a rehabilitation center!


Luna and Lily will be looked after my neighbor and my mother, but I will miss them terribly!
