Whups

Apparently going back upstairs has reopened a part of the incision.

Well, isn't that special.

Now I have to figure out what to do about tomorrow. Wondering if I should have Karl bring chairs up to the upstairs nook and ask them to come up and talk to me there.

Ow. What surgery did you have, if you don't mind me asking?

It's hard to deal with the work-ethic guilt of "I should get up and do more". I've managed my own internal voices by telling myself "I promised Karl I wouldn't". Once external voices start chiming in, it gets harder.

I actually had a scar on my stomach, from a birth defect, repaired. It was a 14 inch long incision, and I didn't take enough time off.

:-( It sucked. A lot.

And I understand about the work-ethic guilt. Being told I was slacking because of my gender got me slinging 60+ lb. ammo boxes two weeks after surgery.
