Everybody wants a piece of me, I guess

[edelsont]

 ... because I had hernia surgery on Thursday.

The "piece of me" gag works better for my most  recent prior significant surgery (over eleven years ago: a prostatectomy).  This time, they weren't taking something out, they were putting something in ... something roughly like a tire patch.

After the prostatectomy, the first words I heard from the surgeon, the next day, were "The good news is that we got the license number of the truck that hit you."

On that scale, this is more like a glancing blow from someone riding a bicycle.  Probably a skinny guy, too.

I am at home, recovering honorably.  The process amounts to a series of problems in constraint logic.  I'd clarify that by giving you an illustrative example, but I'm too tired to write it down.

Oh, wait.  I just did give you an example.

Intrigued that you are “at home, recovering honorably.”

Is it possible to recover dishonorably?

Re: the use of "honorable". I made no attempt to diagnose what I meant by the word, prior to posting the entry. But since you brought it up, I have asked myself that question. I think it's a guy thing: a [not very hidden] claim to being "brave" about the pain. Plus, in my case, making fun of myself for bragging about it.
