I'm having surgery for double inguinal hernias and I'm probably not going to feel like going anywhere.

PLEASE VOTE!
You will be able to make it to the polls. You will be sore, but you should be able to make it. You won't damage the work that was done, and this is a very important election.
Good luck with your surgery.
PLEASE VOTE!

Probably not. Check with your doctor though, if he or she says you may get out of bed if you feel up to it, get someone to drive you to the polling station (since you may still be drowsy form the anesthesia). You may want to go there in the late morning when it is not very busy/crowded so that you will not have to wait in line. Good luck and have a speedy recovery!

Assuming you are a Victorian,
Provision is made for pre-poll, postal and absent voting for electors who are unable to vote at their local polling place on election day.
Absent vote: Electors who are out of their division but still within their home State or Territory, may cast an 'absent vote' at any polling place in that State or Territory.
Postal and pre-poll vote: Electors who for various reasons cannot attend a polling place anywhere in the State or Territory for which they are enrolled on polling day can apply in writing for a 'postal vote'. The Divisional Returning Officer (DRO) will then send them their ballot papers which must be posted back to the DRO before polling day. Alternatively a 'pre-poll vote' can be cast in person at a divisional office or pre-poll voting centre in the lead up to polling day.
AEC mobile polling teams take portable polling places to many electors who are not able to get to a polling place. Mobile polling is carried out on or before polling day. Mobile polling teams visit electors in selected hospital and nursing homes, in remote areas and prisons.

You should have applied for an absentee ballot. It may be too late but call your registrar of voters first thing on monday. oh wait, that's the day of your surgery. maybe someone else can call for you.

Absentee ballot, just like a military service member overseas

You can probably get an ABSENTEE BALLOT by visiting your County Clerk, or by having someone pick it up for you.
Check with your County Clerk's office on Monday.
