A Different Kind of Pain

I had the hernia repair surgery on Monday. It went very well and I felt no pain at all….until Tuesday. Then the pain was excruciating and has been ever since. You don’t realize how often you use your abdominal muscles and every time I do the pain practically knocks me out. I broke down and used some of the pain pills they gave me which I hate to do. On the bright side this is a good pain. It is a healing pain. At least I know that when it’s over it’s over, unlike the pain caused by the hernia itself. With that pain I never knew when it was coming back. So now I’m done with doctors, hospitals, drugs and everything medical. Well at least for another week and a half until I go back for chemo. Carry on. -----------------------------------------------------
