Well, the last 24 hours wasn't exactly what I'd call 'pleasant', but it was no where near as difficult as I was expecting - or had heard what others' experiences were. The worst part was trying to choke down round 2 of the meds at 4am this morning.
Just got back, ate for the first time since yesterday morning, and am now going for a nap. Otherwise, feeling tip-top.
As for working out - I love it. Weights, HIIT, cardio, anything. I have a pretty decent setup in the basement, and that gives me time to watch concert DVDs, or double-dip on non-wife activities and watch hockey games while working out. I also have a membership at the local college athletic dep't - $250/year, and they have all the equipment I want/need that I don't have at home. I probably hit that place 2x per week, and workout at home 2-3x per week.
