Great news, happy everything worked out well. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear that Tommy had infected you with a hernia and cantankerous gallbladder problems when traveling with him earlier this summer.  Very glad to read your doing well John.    Prayers for a quick recovery!!!! 

Don't think it was me!  Probably too much lobster and riding in the rain!

Good morning everyone!

Finally, I can keep my eyes open!   Went in yesterday morning at 7 am, surgery was at 9am, out of there before 2pm, made it home before 3pm and felt good considering what my body went thru. The biggest problems I had was keeping my eyes open and when I talked, trying to keep from getting Cotton Mouth. Thank God I didn't have to go #1 before they let me leave the hospital. Nurse said some doctors require it but my doctor did not so I get to leave early. Praise God!

The only problem I had came last night. I was going to the bathroom (another Praise!) and when I finished I got one of them chills down my back that turned into one of those uncontrollable shakes! Ever had one??? Last time I had one of those is when my appendix ruptured in 2004. I tensed sooo bad that my teeth hurt from gnashing so hard and every muscle in my body was sore from tensing up over and over. Afterwards I felt like I was I on the losing end of a fight! Well, last night was no different except I have 5 holes in my belly and trying to hold my guts in while shaking. Lasted about a minute which seemed like an hour! Got under some blankets and no more worries!

This morning when I got up there is quite a bit of swelling where the hernia was repaired. Hope I didn't push out the fiber thingy he poked in there the hole was! Shoulda iced it down last night but didn't think about it till this morning. Feels pretty good! As I was thinking of the possibility of having to redo the hernia, well I'd rather not go there.

I again thank everyone for your prayers and thoughts, I ask that you direct your prayers that I don't need a redo on the hernia. I would greatly appreciate it! I go see the doctor next week. Thanks again everyone, love ya'll, and God Bless!

Oh and start making up a good story about the scars - if there are five, you can say you wrestled the gun away from the guy who attacked you before he emptied his six-shooter on ya!

I hope you're back in the saddle on a nice twisty road very soon!!

Well today is a great day! I really feel good! Real good! The hernia area has been limiting my movement due to the location...until today. I haven't had to use any pain meds since Monday's surgery and the swelling is way down. The hard part now is to try and do nothing. Man, I already gased up the mower and was ready to cut the yard since all I would be doing is walking, then I remembered the doctor telling me to wait until after I see him Tuesday. That may be best anyway. It's around 100 today and supoose to be in the 80's next week....Yeah, Ill wait! It has been uplifting and encouraging to read this thread. Thanks so much for your thoughts and especially your prayers. Love ya's and God Bless!

John, really glad to hear you're feeling better, but I think you did the right thing deciding to wait!  DO NOT show this photo to your doctor!

Keep resting up and hope to see you in a few weeks, buddy!
