Hernia!

[Raffine]

Yeah, I've never had one but know a couple of folks who have had the surgery.

They all report the same thing:
Hernia - no big deal
Hernia surgery - THE PAIN! THE PAIN!

My brother said he's have thought twice about sitting in his favorite easy chair after his surgery if he'd only know what an ordeal getting back up was gonna be.

My friends brother had 3 hernia surgeries.  His kept failing to stay in place and his mother told me that he couldn't take any pain medicine for his 3rd surgery.  I can only imagine the pain he went through.
