Talk about underestimating my frailties....
I thought I'd be ready to go back to work tomorrow. There's NO WAY I'd be ready to go back to work tomorrow. Frankly, I'll be surprised if I can get back by Monday.

Your ab muscles do everything for you. When you get them cut into, it takes time.

I hope my boss isn't going to be mad. I just completely underestimated how long I'd be out.

1. I hope you feel better! Did you have surgery or something?

3. I had a hernia repaired on Monday.
The doctor said he is pleased w/ the way the procedure went, and I can already tell I am going to be happy w/ the results (the hernia gave me a big bump in my belly).

I guess I was thinking this surgery was going to be more like my gall bladder removal... I could have been back to work in just a few days after that. But this is harder, for sure.

2. As someone who's had 2 c-sections..
I can empathise completely. :hug:

Give yourself time...the last thing you want to do is not give those muscles time to properly heal...then you'll be *out* for a loooooooong time. x(

Be well. :hi:
