Well, yesterday I went back to the doctor for my follow-up appointment for my hernia surgery.  He told me everything looks good.

I have a little bruising around the incision that has started to go down over the past couple of days.  He said it should be completely gone within a couple days.

Unfortunately, he said I would still have some swelling around the incision for another month.  Its not swollen that much right now, but it does bother me from time to time.

I am pretty much back to normal with very little pain.  When I wake up in the morning, or get up after sitting for a while I am a little sore but once I get moving I am fine.

Oh, and the doctor also told me that my hernia was pretty big.  He said it was no wonder it was bothering me.  He also said that I have had it since birth.
