Impending Surgery

Well, my hernia surgery is scheduled for December 19th. So far, we are expecting a laporoscopic procedure which will leave tiny scars far north of the actual area of damage. Go figure. I now know things about my own anatomy I really had no need or desire to know. Definitely TMI. Unlike my medically aware ex-wife, I'm generally the "trust-the-doctor-ask-no-questions" type. Foolish, perhaps, but I've got so little experience with doctors I wouldn't know where to start. This is why it's good I'm still friends with Trish.

So I spend two or three weeks of my Christman break recovering. It beats spending a similar time recovering while *not* on paid vacation.
