I have a 4 and 6 year old. They know that I will be having surgery, but we've avoided giving them more information so far. I just don't know how long that will last. They keep asking for more specifics. I had a friend who told her kids that she had back surgery when she had a reduction. I know whatever is said at home will be repeated non-stop in public so I'm just trying to figure out the best way to handle this.
