Article Excerpt:

Next week I will be having surgery to repair a hernia. Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances, this is the third calendar year in a row that I will be having abdominal surgery. I had a total hysterectomy in 2006. A hernia developed along the internal incision from that surgery and I had it repaired laparoscopically October 2007. The hernia has recurred, so I get to have it repaired again. What joy. (As you read this, understand that each time you see the word “hernia,” I am actually thinking “@#$%&* hernia.”)

But by now, I am an old hand at getting ready for surgery. As hobbies go, getting ready for surgery sucks, but what can I say? Although this is a blog about cosmetic surgery, surgery is surgery, and I figured I would pass along a few tips on getting ready.
