Oh the bitter cold it has gotten so cold here as well. But the thing is we haven't hardly got any snow, no complaints. I turned on the news this morning to see a New Orleans of all places got 10 inches of snow. Feel for them as they are not use to it.
Oh the hernia, I had one a few years ago. I had surgery but didn't need the mesh as the doc was able to move it so it wouldn't be a problem. Your right, a very common and not threatening surgery. Anyways I hope you can avoid surgery that way your not out of commission for a few days. Take care.
Yeah, we have some friends done south living in various places and they are basically paralyzed.
