Hernia Surgery - Update

My hernia surgery has been fairly uneventful. Meaning... my recovery seems to be proceeding normally for the procedure. I haven't driven for a few days, but today I made my first outing without feeling any significant pain. It's a little tough getting in and out of my car, but that is to be expected at this point. Each day I have a little more energy and better stamina. Hopefully within a couple of weeks I'll be pretty much back to normal. I miss my treadmill workouts. I think I can start using the machine again, but at a very low rate of speed and without any incline. I plan to give it a try... maybe tonight.

Thanks for the phone calls during my recuperation period. Chatting helps to pass the time while one is in a couch potato mode. I've been lying on my sofa most of the time. Fortunately there have been several exciting games (both football and baseball) on during my recovery. My laptop helps me to pass the time as well. I hope to increase my activity level this week. I've been getting fatigued easily, but my energy level is getting higher by the day. I'll post another update in a few days.
