OMG,what an ordeal--15 hour at the hospital. It's always worse than what you're body is doing to you, isn't it? *hugs* I hope they are able to help you with the diverticulitis. I had a friend with a fistula and diverticulitis the year before and it took her a whole year to get through getting diagnosed and surgery and recovery. Tough stuff. Best of puck with the hernia surgery. And the cats--so much to deal with. There's just no winning with taking care of multiple cats.

I'm not dealing with half the stuff you are and i feel overwhelmed with the endless doctor and vet appointments ahead of me. So you gots all my sympathy. *hugs*
