I'm probably a bit late now, but maybe useful for the others: A tip we often give out is to hold a rolled up towel against the wound when you need to stand up, cough, etc. Gives it a bit of support and some people find it helps with the pain.
Hope you are well on the mend!

Been there, done that! After all that years I still feel the cut when the weather is bad. And the weird feeling of no sense of touch on the skin around the area of the cut.
No bueno!
No bueno!
I'm at the 48 hour post surgery point now.
Staying in 1 position, whatever it is, is fine.
Going from sitting to standing, laying down to sitting. All that kind of stuff hurts.
Walking is OK.
They said Percocet every 4 hours or so. Trying to really not do that, it takes care of the pain, but makes me really feel off.

You're on the right track, you need just a little more patience (and probably some painkillers too, unfortunately).
Get well soon!
The surgery actually hurts a lot more then the hernias themselves.
My father had a hernia operation when I was a teenager and I remember him in a very bad mood after the surgery. He doesn't like to take medicine and wouldn't take what they gave him for the pain.
Cheer up, DaveF, the pain will lessen.

Thanks for the good thoughts everyone.

My dad had three.
My father-in-law one.
Surgery can be very painful.
My father-in-law had testicles swell as large as baseballs ⚾️ for three or four days after the surgery.

Yeah, the title kind of says it all.
Just wanted to complain about it and the pain.
