I agree: she will be much better once this is done. Think about all the nasty possibilities you've now avoided like uterine tumors......ugh.
The usual problem with anaesthetic is a given body's unexpected reaction to it.....like the precipitous drop in bp that my dad had (20+ years ago!) after the surgery was over. His body fat absorbed too much anaesthetic and then released it after they had administered more....... My own body works furiously to metabolize anaesthetic, so it wears off before the sewing up process is started or finished. Speaking of weird genetics :) My X chromosome doesn't give a rat's ass about pride in a car. I love manual transmissions and appreciate a fine machine but I don't have any personal pride about it the way I do about, say, my kids. But I admit to having weird genes :)
Hmm. Given the patterns of my body's reactions to drugs, I may have a similar problem if I ever go under the knife. (Most drugs are effective for 1/3 to 2/3 the time they're supposed to be, if they have any effect on me at all.)
I don't think of myself as having as much car-pride as a lot of other people, but once in a while it sneaks up on me and I notice it in myself.
Have I forgotten something important, or aren't your kids in possesion of half of your DNA content? If they don't manifest any bad mixtures (I have a truly evil aunt), get decent grades, have reasonable manners and modicum of compassion while they're young, they warrant pride. For some reason, my mother and good but odd aunt are proud of me. My grandmother dislikes but respects me.
My dog is a dog, but reflects my rearing in his behaviour. Mostly always good, and he's unquestionably bright. Then again, he's got a couple bad habits I'm not sure I'll ever get rid of.
I have learned from D'G her various peculiar responses to drugs. Thank you for yet more info on possibilities.
I like good machines, but take no pride in them. I've never bought a car that wasn't manual. I've never owned one anyone would bother to steal, either. My sewing machine is still good at 21, my massage table is at least 7, maybe 9. I don't feel like crawling under her right now.
I think your genes are probably okay to fine. It's tough to overcome bad nurture, and if you're having a hard time doing it for yourself, doing it for your kids matters, and will help you. Yeah, like I'm qualified to say that. Just a thought.
Cats and chromosomes
