Glad to hear it! Just take it easy for a while... give yourself at least 30 days before doing much lifting at all...You don't want to undo that!
Oh yes, I have been enjoying my rest time. I have spent a good amount of my time catching up on much needed sleep and reading. I have only left my home ONCE (today) to get the mail, as I felt able to walk a bit more and wanted to stretch out some. I'm still taking my pain pills, so I am not going out anywhere else and just hang around home most of the time. I notice that my right side is a little more sore than the left, but overall still an improvement! I don't really lift anything at all that would be in question and pretty much only pick up very small things, like something to drink or eat, etc. So far so good! So far the pain is bearable... it was pretty bad at one point and got to where I felt like I would pass out, but luckily that part soon passed!! I had just missed my night dose of pain killers and woke up in pain! Now I've been setting my alarm clock for 3-4am so I can make sure to take some during the night as well.
One question for those of you who have been so helpful 
:
I almost threw up immediately after waking up from my hernia repair (from the anesthesia, even though I did get some anti-nausea meds in my IV). I remember this being very painful as I got that lurching feeling in my stomach. It hurt the most on the right side of my abdomen. I've definitely been having MUCH improvement over the course of the week, but I notice that my right side is a bit more sore than my left side. It is tolerable though and isn't too severe. I am thinking I just put more strain on this side, but I don't feel that I could have actually done too much damage. Should I still ask my doctor about this? I'll have to wait until Monday as it's the weekend coming up now, but I want to make sure all is well. I would think that if I tore anything back open, I would have felt more pain.
