Dang it Capt! You better lay low for a couple of weeks anyway. I had one a couple of years ago. On my right side below the belt angled toward you know where. About a 6 inch cut. I stopped taking pain meds about the second or third day when I got home. I wanted it to hurt so I wouldn't have to have the repair repaired. I suddenly found myself talking to several men who had screwed up and jumped right back into their normal lifes. They ended up with more surgeries, surgeries as in plural. For two weeks my wife had to help me get up and down or out of bed. I was cut right in the muscles that moved when ever you done anything. I was out of work for about 5 or 6 weeks. It was painful but I don't regret stopping the meds.
Certainly glad to have you back, but please don't over do it. I got up and walked around every day. I believe you need to be mildly active but be ever so careful about what you call active.
