Little Kansas kitty,

I'm soooo jealous. My dream is to own a ragdoll (or 10) . I have two cats of my own and I'm feeding three stray cats so it's not an option now.

I know a breeder locally but she has gone from $750 to $900 for her ragdoll kittens. Maybe one of these days 😸

You are a good cat mama! I gave the Ragdoll kittens as a Christmas present to my kids wrapped up in boxes on Christmas day. They were in that $ range which was not comfortable but I decided they were worth it since cats live a long time plus I loved their little sweet personalities. It truly was the best Christmas ever.

Hope all is going well with notifying work.

I am not telling my work what type of surgery I am having. They all know I have stomach issues such as ulcers so I am just letting them think it is due to that. I am very much an introvert and do not tell my business to others. I completely understand your feelings.

I’m very private too. I did not tell my boss anything other than I needed to take time off for surgery. He said fine and he did not ask me what kind of surgery I was having as that goes against company policy. I did not share any details with any of my colleagues either. Months before surgery I had started to adopt many of the post-WLS habits and started to lose weight, so no one commented on my smaller portions, drinking only Water (and not with meals), et al, once I returned to the office. Thankfully, these behaviors and subsequent weight loss were not correlated to my surgery, which was a relief.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
