So I have spent today getting hernia surgery. My scrotum is going to the size of a large grapefruit.

It lasted longer than expected. I was knocked out of course, but the surgeon told my wife that it was possibly the most difficult hernia in his 20+ years as a surgeon. My old hernia mesh was all messed up and had significant muscle and tissue growth that he had to remove from it before he could replace it. I've had pain in that area for years, and knowing that it might be fixed finally is pretty awesome. We'll see how it pans out. This one does not have the pain that my first couple hernia surgeries had as of a day later anyway.
The other item of note is kind of weird. My assigned nurse in post-surgery recovery was overly "friendly". I am not the socializer/flirter I was 10 years ago, and I didn't realize it at first, as some people are just more touchy-feely than others. She wasn't bad looking at all, and was maybe in her late 30s, but I was surprised, plus on 2 Norcos I was a bit slow on the uptake. Lots of massaging my chest, my shoulders, leaning in close to talk to me, and a little bit more brushing up against me than the situation required. Since my surgery was for a hernia, she knew nothing would be happening, and when my wife was around, she was very professional. My perception was a bit muddled, but I think she was getting herself kinda worked up once when she was asking if I liked her massaging my chest.
It kinda makes me wonder if she takes extra interest in other middle aged drugged-up guys in recovery. On the flip side, she was decently hot and interesting, so I wonder if I was flirting and just don't recall.
At least if there was no action downstairs,it lessens the odds of a 20-stone male porter riding you like Seabiscuit (or another famous horse) trying to outrun a nuclear explosion once you're asleep! (Although they could possibly give you Viagra or something to "help" you out!)
Had 3 friends over last night and we played Heroclix! It was like old times. 4 people, 800 points of pretty fun teams, and pizza &drinks. Only difference is that we were all packed up and they were gone by 9 pm. 6 years ago we'd have played until about 1 this morning.
The game is still very fun for me, and the new rules feel pretty player friendly. A few things still take some getting used to (no object with a Hypersonic attack, auto knock back with a Super Strength close attack, etc), but hopefully we can play a game a month or so and get back in the swing of things. I still have about the last 3 years of figures that need to get used. Last night I played a Marvel family reunion, with purple disco suit Zeus joining Billy, Freddy, and Mary. Ape Batman bystander took the place of Tawky Tawny. Several lousy rolls evened the odds quickly after I started off kicking ass, but with 3,200 points of X-Men, Defenders, and Marvel family on the map, the game was nowhere close to being totally done.
Also the first time I ever used the DOTA2 quasi 4 player map. It is a pretty map, and was new to all of us, so it worked out perfectly.
Oh I am still taking it easy. Only left the house once in the last 5 1/2 days. They all came here to play. I cleaned the basement where I have all my wW2 airplane stuff and my Heroclix stash. Some of that hasn’t been organized since we unpacked it 5 years ago. That’s what motivated me to get a game together.
I finally had some guys I could tell my story about the overly touchy nurse to in person. We agreed that it would be a much creepier situation if it was a male nurse doing it to drugged up females, but i’m still surprised it happened. I am now 100% sure I said and did nothing flirty to her when she was with me, though if I was able to, I probably would have. I certainly never said “no, stop it” or anything like that which would denote advancement into actual illegal type stuff.
Also, I said "The Falcons are next. The NFC South is a tough division this year, and they're going to have a rough go of it."
That division was so tough, they got all of the Wild Cards! Saints (11-5), Panthers (11-5) wild card, and Falcons (10-6) wild card. Best division in the NFL.
