I was in the middle of a major spring-cleaning evolution (or urban renewal) in my office about a week ago when a strangulated hernia interrupted everything. I've got shit spread out all over hell's half-acre, and it will stay that way for a while, since I can't lift anything over five pounds.

As far as the dog goes, though, I know what you mean. Our shar-pei has been essentially blind for the better part of two years.

I'm partial to the dogs playin' poker as far as velvet art goes, though ...

Ouch.. that sucks.. I feel your pain. I fell about two months ago and bruised my ribs really bad. It took about 5 weeks for me to move around normally. The good news was my chronic backache went away for awhile.. I didn't notice my back when my ribs hurt. Ribs are better.. and I haven't pulled my back out of place yet. 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.
