Down for a few weeks
« on: July 25, 2011, 04:41:30 PM »
Looks like I won't be riding for a few weeks!  This past Friday I had my gall bladder removed and a incisional hernia repaired.  I put off both of the operations as long as I could.  Hospitals are not my favorite place to be!

They pain from the gall stones wasn't constant but my doctor said it would be a much easier procedure now than if I waited until I had a sever attack.  As for the hernia, it wasn't that painful but it had grown so much that it was really poking out.  Looked like I had three man breast!
 :)

Both surgeries were suppose to be arthroscopic and I would be in the hospital one night.  Well, it didn't quite turn out that way.  No problem with the gall bladder, but the hernia was about the size of a grapefruit so I ended up with a four inch cut, on the table about two hours longer than expected and an extra day in the hospital.

Anyway, I'm home and healing up!  Even went in and worked a couple of hours today!

Thank God for prayers, good doctors and Percocet!

Was wondering why you didn't answer my question.
I hope you feel better soon.
Old age is catching up with you.

Heal fast!   :2vrolijk_21:




I've got gall bladder surgery on the agenda....some day.  I've had one major attack - they thought I was having a heart attack - and so did I...  My gallbladder is full of stones...

Their advice to me is better sooner than later, but it's up to me to pick a time.  That was about 6 months ago.  I'm still contemplating a time!   ::)
Hopefully, it will wind up being in the winter months.  We'll see...

Glad to hear that you've had the surgery and all went well.  You'll heal up faster than I will and we'll both be riding by MV (hopefully).  I had my GB out, but still putting off a hernia I got in OCS in '67.  (so I'm worse at procrastination than you were)  Feel better soon Tommy and God bless Judy.   :) har.  spyder

Tommy I know what you mean the Horse-spital is not my favorite place either......

Glad to hear you are on the mend......  Maybe it will be a little cooler when you get ready to get back in the saddle again....
