So after having it for years, I finally decided (a few months back) that I’d get surgery and have it taken care of.

The surgery occurred 3 days ago. From what I’d read, I was expecting to be walking around fine, and without pain, within 2 days. Turns out that’s not quite the case. The swelling has gone down around the cut itself, but certain other unmentionable areas are really blue and bruised looking.

The surgery I ended up getting was a large incision (not laparoscopic, as I was expecting), and insertion of a kevlar mesh. So I’m bullet proof now, but it will probably take another month before I’m ready to hit the gym again. Which really sucks; I’m having a really difficult time taking it easy. I want to be up and about. I already miss doing weights, yoga, rock climbing, running and being independent. Not that I really need someone to wait on me, but just getting out of bed hurts right now.

Ok, until I really need it again, enough whining. It’s not like it’s going to heal faster if I whine more
