That's for sure!! I have bruises in places that give a whole new dimension to the phrase "rough sex". This is one time when being unattached is the safe option. To be fair the doc did warn me that this would happen. My hernia was a good size but largely painless. Go figure.

mountaingun629: yep, no lifting for about six weeks. Somebody may want me to travel by air soon but I'm telling them now that I am going nowhere before. my follow up appointment.

ordy: learned my lesson yesterday morning trying to wear jeans. Sweat pants/PJs are the dress code for a while. Trouble is I cannot find a pair of sweat pants that are wearable out. Must have tossed them.

One thing the doc was vague about was how long I should wear the support device. I took it off after 24 hours on hygiene grounds. Ain't it wonderful what we talk about on here?
