Thanks. You're all so sweet. It will take a while before I can accept this new version of the future, I think.

From what I've heard it's fixable? But scary. If not, then ye gods, *hugs* that's awful. If it is, then, still *hugs* because surgery is scary.

I have a few life-is-pain coping techniques. I'll try to keep skype up.

Ouch. *hugs gently* That's going to really put a block on things for you - is it repairable?

Oh, poor you. *Hands over pain relief*

They're pretty common and easily fixable these days, I believe, although surgery's never nice. Hope it's fixed soon.

*gentle hugs*

A virtual hug seems so insufficient, but what else do I have?

For what it might be worth, my father has had several operations for hernia -- the repeats were mostly due, I suspect, to his utter inability to take it easy. At the last op, they put in some kind of webbing to keep things in place (which I believe was a new technique at the time, but should be standard practice now), and more than ten years later he's still steaming away at his usual pace, with no ill effects.
