Open surgery...not the laparascopic/small incision kind. I'll tell you, whoever writes the information guides to surgical procedures has never gone through them. I THOUGHT the incision was going to be ...umm...lower. Nope, it's an abdominal cut. They said I'd probably be home by 2:00 or 3:00pm at the latest. I didn't get home until 10:00pm! They won't let you go until you can pee. But since I was so dehydrated from not letting me eat or drink the night before, I seemed to soak up all the liquids they gave me. They had to keep moving me from department to department, because they were all closing for the day (they didn't count on me being there that long either). The doctor/nurses/information guides mentioned only some "slight discomfort in the groin"...like, possible swelling or bruising. I thought, fine...I can deal with that. Hell, since it's a abdominal cut...it freakin' hurts like hell and I can barely move. "Oh, you'll be able to return to work by Monday". Yeah....we'll see how well things progress over the next four days. I can walk around...slowly. But sitting down/getting up is an ordeal. Anway...I'm home. Trying to rest a little, but also walk around and stay mobile. Was hoping I'd be able to lay down a few rhythm track to a new project in my down time. What the hell was I thinking?
