Follow Up with the Surgeon

I had my follow up visit with the surgeon and things went pretty much as I anticipated.  I spent most of my visit in the waiting room.  The nurse called me back to check my weight and blood pressure.  She placed me in a room to wait for the doctor.  He came in, took a quick look at the healing of the incision and asked how I was feeling.  I responded that I was feeling fine and was able to function as normal.  He and I agreed I could safely return to work next week.  So there you have it.  Three weeks out of work for an internal hernia.  Who would have figured something like that would happen to a guy like me?
