I AM BACK

Weeks ago when I was mired in self-pity with my hernia, I knew that eventually I would be back. I can now report that I am back. I am back in Chicago after spending 5 days in Salt Lake City. Much more importantly, it is clear that I am back regarding my recent setback, that is, the hernia issue. I am completely back. I have no residual pain. It is as if it never happened.

It amused me to calculate how much stepping I have accomplished in the past seven days in comparison to the total stepping that I accomplished in April when my injury first began.

PAST SEVEN DAYS                 182,756 STEPS
ENTIRE MONTH OF APRIL 170,430 STEPS
.

I am very pleased with my physical progress. The hernia is now officially a distant memory.
Good Riddance!

HUMOROUS SIDENOTE:

When I returned to my home, the doorman in my building was advising me to take it easy as I was managing two suitcases.  I explained that I was completely healed from my hernia.  She asked me if I had the hernia removed. I tried to explain that it doesn't quite work that way. But there was no convincing her - she was steadfast in her belief that I should have had a hernia removal. Technically, it may not have been removed - but it is gone.
