So it may be that I don't have a hernia after all. My doctor sent me to see the doctor that would do my operation and he wants to wait. He said it may be that I pulled something, tore at the muscle but he didn't feel a hernia.
I'll take that as good news. It's tender but feels better than it had. Thanks for the well wish emails and the advice.
I'm home for a few weeks. I'm going to record some songs for daveudrums.com and I'd like to teach. Anyone want a lesson? We start by stretching. Oh and I'll make some more progress writing The Hooters 30. You gotta learn about the beauty and the terror.
