Another Surgery Eve

As I sit in anticipation of another late night, I have that all too strangely familiar feeling that you get before you know something unpleasant lies just ahead.  As I’ve known for some time, in order to achieve complete recovery and be able to improve from there, I must address my hernia.

So, tomorrow that will be addressed.  And from there, another lengthy recovery.  This isn’t a complaint.  Rather, it’s just the reality and facing that reality is important for my overall health in the big picture.  The dividend is I’ll soon (relatively speaking) be back to “normal” workouts, only without experiencing pain.  

I’m grateful that I could do full mobility workouts again, with the help of Dr. Jon at my PT, even if only for just a few weeks.  I even got to do my birthday burpees tonight.  Yes, it’s a few days early, but having the ability to do them is a victory.  

In the meantime, as far as tomorrow is concerned, I won’t be able to eat after midnight.  So, I will wait until about 11:30 and have my nutrition coach-approved late-night pre-surgery meal…pizza.  Sort of feels like college again.  And tomorrow, I’ll do what must be done.
