Forced hiatus

A few months back my physical exam turned up an umbilical hernia -- which explained the odd pain I had experienced there from time to time. I had surgery scheduled the week we returned from our road trip, and was tempted to postpone it until things started to get worse during the trip. So, the surgery went as planned Wednesday, two days ago, and I thought I would have some down time to catch up, maybe even finish this trip. Alas, I did nothing but sleep Wednesday evening, and yesterday was in too much pain to do much of anything after I got home from an abbreviated day at the office. Things feel much better this morning.
