Rev, I had the surgery about 6 years ago. If it was like mine (inguinal/surgical), don't plan on doing anything over the weekend. And take the painkillers that they give you.

Good Luck!

It's inguinal, but the surgery is lacroscopic and I'm supposed to recover faster than the normal surgical procedure [crosses fingers].

Don't worry, I'll be taking my full allotment of painkillers!

I've never had a hernia, but Bill Cosby's routine about Fat Albert getting a hernia was one of the funniest favorites of my childhood years!

I'm not sure quite what the difference is, but my surgery was laparoscopic, and it was quite a trip! My wife drove me home with an extra large bottle of pain killers, and when we got home, I crashed for about 5 hours. When I woke up, I took half the first dose, and went back to sleep. when I woke up, I crept upstairs to check out the new scar in the full length mirror. I was starting to develop some pain down below, and something didn't feel quite right. When I dropped trou in front of the mirror, I started screaming. My wife was right next to me as I started yelling "LOOOOOK!!!" She smacked her hand over her mouth and started giggling with a sympathetic look on her face. I kid you not Rev, my nads were black and the size of a grapefruit.

The worst part was when the swelling went down; Itchy & scratchy, with no relief. And a scrotum you could tie in bunny ears atop your head! WTF, it's better than gangrene, right?

Best of luck, man!

All the best, Reverend Powell!

Thanks for all the well wishes, I'm back already and I feel fine. A bit of a pain in me gulliver is all...

Eyesore, you have me scared to look at my gonads, though. My testicles were already the size of grapefruit; I can't imagine what they'd look like now!

I will report back on the condition of my genitals once I work up the courage to sneak a peek.

Glad everything went well Rev

Told ya they wouldn't find a dead baby in there.

Eyesore · October 08, 2009, 05:05:20 PM

Whew, Good to hear!!! I didn't want to scare you, but the Dr. didn't tell me about it, and I thought I had some internal bleeding or something going on.

Glad to hear you're doing well, Rev.
