Build some wheels! It's not that difficult, just requires a bit of focus and patience the first go around, and the rewards are many. Sheldon's site is a great place to start, and you can pick up a lot of good tips in the archives of the various bike newsgroups.
If you've already been there, how about some adventurous cooking. I've been enjoying Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duquid's books "Mangoes & Curry Leaves: Culinary Travels Through the Great Subcontinent" and "Hot Sour Salty Sweet: A Culinary Journey Through Southeast Asia." Great photos, excellent regional culinary geography and history, and tasty recipes. It'll get you out of the house, too, in search of some odd ingredients and fresh produce at the farmer's market. Good luck with the healing Seth. -Jay Denver, CO On Aug 7, 11:33 am, Seth Vidal <skvi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > I'm going a little bonkers and I'm sure some of y'all have dealt with > a similar problem so I thought I'd ask for advice. > > I've recently been told I have a hernia and after a trip to the ER I > believe them when they tell me that. > > I have been told I can't really lift anything (and I believe it) and > that riding my bike will be a bad idea unless I'm very very careful > not to extend muscles in my lower right abdomen.
