An Apple Pie Injury

I have sustained an apple pie injury.  This injury has next to nothing to do with being pregnant and having Crohn's disease, but it is funny/sad nonetheless.  Funny, because I am a third generation klutz, and sad because only a person with a poked out belly from pregnancy that is poked out even further with a hernia, could sustain an injury like this.

On a whim I decided to make a set of apple pies for my father for Father's Day--it is in the top 25 of his favorite desserts, probably close if not in first place.  The incident in question happened while using the apple slicer.   The apple slid, the slicer slid off of the apple, and with the force required to slice the apple, I came down on my hernia, pinching it between the counter top and the slicer.

Thirty-six hours later and I am still walking hunched over and in pain.  I remember asking my surgeon a couple of years ago if I was at any increased risk of injury with my intestine being "right there" under my skin, without the protection of my abdominal wall.  He said no.  I think he might have been wrong.
