Weird to think we're melting here in the Southern Hemisphere, please send some snow our way!
I hope your hernia behaves! I had the op, and it wasn't such a big deal...except, to be honest, it is rather painful. If you have it done, check YouTube videos on how to get in and out of bed, that was the biggest issue.
Hope all goes well @coinjoe, stay inside and keep warm!
I wish I could send some snow your way. Thanks for the well wishes.
