On Tuesday my mind was playing tricks with me. I was starting to convince myself that I had developed another hernia. I think I was simply legitimately sore from some mega-walking and mega-elliptical sessions. My step count on Tuesday was 3163. That is pretty close to zero. I bounced back yesterday with some much greater and renewed enthusiasm for a workout. I spent 99 minutes on my elliptical machine. I took a 3 mile walk around the neighborhood and when the day ended on Tuesday, my step count was in a range that I am more accustomed to achieving - 25008 steps.
Much better. My problem these days is that every time I feel some kind of tinge or tinkle anywhere near my abdominal area - I am assuming a new disaster. I have to remind myself to remember what my surgeon told me during my two week followup from surgery. He said something like this:
There are many times in your life when you have experienced a momentary discomfort somewhere in your abdominal region - since at that time you were not recovering from a hernia surgery - you probably didn't give it a second thought. That's where you need to be now.Easier said than done. But I am trying.
