HOW I GOT MY HERNIA

Sunday 11 hours of work not a day
of rest. Monday stress/firing line work.
Monday night Ina/mother-in-law here nurse
practitioner trade show with Monica aaftermath.
Still no daycare/loading & unloading
boxes of drug and treatment samples.
Kenny from across the street/drunk
ouside unloading a TV
into his house
with degenerate/asks me to help
move his car w/him as I load
samples into Ina's car/come
back inside and gravity wins
apparently from a weird position
of picking up goods. Later that
night my abdomen hurt and I was
well on my way to a red-haired
surgery.
