Ah yes, the pain of recovery from hernia surgery. Did it 3 times. Holy crap it sucks. The first day was fine (pain meds are a wonderful/crappy things). Felt fine. Was walking a bit around the house. Made lunch ... no problem. Went to bed, woke up .... Who the hell kicked my ass when I was asleep? Had to have Ms Mash roll me out of bed, put my pants on, put my socks on and help me stand. Coughing and sneezing never scared me so much in my life. I was convinced that if I coughed that my insides would be out side. Thank god for gravity on the toilet.

You do not realize how much/often you use your stomach muscles during the day. After a week things got back to normal My last one (inguinal) was in '09. No problems since and I try and be careful when I lift.
