Hernia!

[Rev. Powell]

Well, I'm going in for hernia surgery tomorrow, so I probably won't post anything tomorrow.  Hopefully I'll be back in full swing by Friday.

It's not painful (though it occasionally aches a little), but it's something I want to take care of right away before it gets worse.

The hernia is on both sides, so I'm having lacroscopic surgery.  They will cut two tiny holes in my abdomen, then insert a mesh to reinforce my abdominal wall. 

Anyone here had hernia surgery before?

[Mr. DS]

I haven't but they do the operation all the time where I work.  Enjoy your anesthesia Rev and good luck.

Thanks Lester, one more thing to worry about.

Good luck Rev!  I'm sure it will turn out just fine.  I'm certain they only find 46 year old babies in a TINY percentage of patients

Hope it all goes well for you.

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!

Good luck!  Now you can spend even more time on here while you're recovering.
