Drugs and rest, alas. I hardly ever take pain killers, but hernia surgery took me down for a solid week, with pain killers for a fair amount of that time. And that was in my 20s. I'd hate to think what recovery would be like now.
I will say that with Netflix and the like, TV watching is a lot better these days. So relax and move as little as you can, if you are taking opiate pain killers, know that they can cause constipation and that you might want something to help with that as pushing isn't really compatible with abdominal injury. Best of luck in your recovery. Cheers, Judah On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 11:50 AM, C.
