I Have the Big Hurt--Literally

I really do.  After 7 months of putting it off  and living with the discomfort I finally had surgery to repair a hernia.  That was four days ago.   Not having had anything like it as an adult I was not prepared for the recovery.  The pain is bearable but pretty much constant and very frustrating.  Due to a fairly rare condition I have I'm only able to take Tylenol, which doesn't do enough.  Bottom line is that among other things, like sleeping comfortably, I haven't been able to sit at the computer and either read or write blog posts.  I realize that there are people, including some of you I'm sure, that are going through worse, so don't feel sorry for me.  I'm sure I'll be feeling better in the near future but I am missing being a part of this community.
