The day after surgery (had a hernia fixed). Never a great day in my mind. The pain, discomfort, swelling, anticipation to be back to 'normal', it's just frustrating to me. I like my life to be controlled, by me, and when something keeps me from doing what I want to do I get upset. Since I don't have to be at work and have Carrie as my home nurse things aren't too bad. Got served breakfast and lunch in bed, have an excuse to fart in front of her, and all I have to do is call her name and she comes running. Ok, maybe this recovery deal isn't too bad. It's just too bad she has to work tomorrow.
The worse part about this all is the time for full recovery will be 6 weeks, which puts me right about at my departure date when I have my restrictions lifted. I had planned on using these weeks for intense training to prepare for the higher altitudes I'll be hiking and biking in. I'm worried now that the first few weeks are going to be really hard on me physically. Oh well, I'm all fixed up and don't have to worry about this again...hopefully.
