I wasn’t going to advertise what my mom’s surgery was, but I think she’ll be OK with it and I have to relay something Simon said. Mom had a bladder reconstruction. Seemingly, having three babies sitting on her bladder eventually took its toll. Everything works just fine; gravity (and the Goldstein kids) just moved it lower than it should be.
Anyway, I had no idea what Simon knew about this. In the chaos of this past week, I couldn’t keep track of who told him what when. Then last night in the tub, out he popped with this:
Mommy, when I was a baby in your tummy,did I ruin your bladder?
I’m not sure if I’m more amazed that Matt explained the surgery or that Simon understood enough to ask if the same had happened to me.
