A gym friend was wary as she returned to class for the first time after having her appendix removed ("I know!" she said. "I thought that only happened to young people!"). Even though she felt fine and fully recovered, her doctors had been adamant that she should take it easy for a full month, especially after she described to them what she did in a typical class.
The exercise room at the Jennersville Y was full, so I couldn't see her during class, but I made a point of asking her afterward how she felt.
Good, she said with relief, although the abdominal exercises were quite uncomfortable.
"Then again," she remembered, "they always are."
