Good Grief JR !!! I just found this thread. Glad the rest of the crowd covered you with their prayers. I'm in there now for a full and complete and quick recovery. You'll do better w/o the gall bladder I can tell ya from experience. But, might have to eat smaller portions of the lobstah & steak. The hernia.....can't advise, 'cause I'm still nursing one from OCS in the '60's. Prayers are on the way.

Spyd, I appreciate ya and love ya man! I been putting up with that ol gall bladder on/off for almost 10 years. Test showed it wasn't functioning and as soon as they removed it I immediately lost that dull ache under right rib cage and back.

Hernia has been the tender area until today. I can now cough, sneeze, spit, yell, do what ever, and no pain down there. After seeing those pictures Brian and Gary posted, I'm glad it was today and not yesterday!

Hope to see ya in MV! Love ya and God Bless Buddy!
