Appreciate that James! Recovery will likely take much longer than the two-weeks where they told me to "take it easy", but I'm more than just hopeful. Walking in the deciduous forests of Minnesota on beautiful Fall days with a good doublegun can only help here, both physically and mentally. All I have to do is get there in one-piece and then have the weather cooperate just-a-bit to have a really good time. Which, of-course, is the best medicine of all.
This isn't always true but the more they research it, the more it's applicable across many aspects of recovery....
A friend of mine is from a family that own a private medical clinic here in socialist Canada. It got grandfathered into the system because when the government took control of health care, this was the world's leading clinic for hernias. It is still one of the best. And the radical treatment they pioneered was getting you up off the operating room table and having you walk back to your room. No delay whatsoever in pushing for the return of normal physical activity. The result of activity was a remarkably speedy recovery compared to a more typical approach.
