Today is the one week mark before I have surgery to repair my hernia. I am actually looking forward to this because I really am looking forward to no longer having this thing. Of course, I am not looking forward to the few days of being sore though afterwards.

This will be my 3rd surgery, so I am not new to this whole ordeal. The only thing I do not like about having surgery is when they put that IV in you and start sending salt water (or whatever) into your veins. For some reason this really bothers me and is actually very painful (the water going in that is). Last time I actually almost passed out from it.

My first two surgeries were on my back to fix my scoliosis and the second was to remove a growth from my head.
