Ok, now I'm going to spill the beans. I went to see a doctor about a small pain problem I was having and he told me I had a hernia. I saw a hernia specialist and he said I had 2 hernias. I scheduled the outpatient operation (bi-lateral, Laparoscopy surgery) for today at 12:30. I got home about 4:30 and have taken it fairly easy. I really can't do much except have soup tonight and tomorrow. Pain is not too bad, but I'll take the painkillers just in case. They said I wouldn't remember anything since I was going to be knocked out, but they didn't even give me a chance to count backwards. They must have given me something while I was still in the pre-room because they didn't even get 20 feet and I was out. Woke up about 1:30 and was in and out and probably made a few comments along the way. I hope that was Azucena's hand I kissed.
Jim and Evelyn came by with a Get Well balloon and pie. Will get to the pie tomorrow, yum-yum.
Work can't be too happy, miss a week for Hawaii, in for 2 days (mostly playing catchup) and gone again for another week. Thanks to Patty for the hard work she's done to allow this without my freaking out.
