It should happen any time now..

Ahhh ... I knew something was going on, so I finally broke down and saw a Dr. about it. I went in expecting the obligatory lectures about smoking and weight, and MAYBE some outpatient surgery scheduled for some time in the future.
No dice - they poked and prodded, got a surgeon to poke and prod, and I had been operated on less than 24 hours later. The strangulated part involved some dying tissue, and it could have gotten ugly if I hadn't gotten in when I did.
Oddly enough, the incision doesn't bother me nearly as much as my back, shoulders, and legs do. It's forced me to use muscles I've forgotten I owned, and this old body ain't always happy about it.
Gonna look like hell in my speedo, too - they done stole my navel.
