Bill: I had that surgery after I got married. The doc was no happy with me, because I accused him (yelled at him as I came to they tell me) of sewing my kneecap to my hernia - damn it hurt.
Second of third night at home lying flat on the floor the dog wanted to play so guess where he jumped on me! Almost lost the dog. Ha!
Take it easy, and no LOL's, just GLOL's (gentle laughing out loud)!
