Post Op

Well its May 7th and I am still alive. The surgery is over and it will probably be some time before I see how well it really went. I have a follow up a week from now, so I can talk with the doctor a little bit more about it. I ended up having both sides worked on which is good because I have heard of some people getting one side worked on and then having the other side give them problems later on. In addition to the work on the pelvic floor, I also a received a shot of steroids in both left and right groin, which hopefully will help me get back out there quicker. I am not in a super rush after all the time I have taken off over the last two years, I am just going to take things as the come. Two years ago, I took off for periods of 5 week, 4 weeks, and then a couple months without even doing a couple miles, so however long now wont be an issue.
I am going to try and chronicle the recovery period, so that maybe people deal with this injury later on can get an idea of the recovery process.
As of now I am in pain! Not out of the world pain, but if I do anything to work my abs -- such as bend over or move in bed -- the pain jumps to about an 8 out of 10. I have a prescription for percocet(sp?), so hopefully that will make the recovery process a little bit more pleasurable.
There are a million things to write about, so I will try and post the occasional blog when something arises or returns to my brain. I will say I overheard my roommate say he saw Randy Moss when I was still in a daze. I am not sure why Randy Moss was in a hospital Philadelphia, but I am sure it was more about business than pleasure.

More updates to come....
