Finally!!!

[normanaj]

After what seems to have been an eternity I'm finally getting my hernia operation done this Tuesday!

So today is a last minute smoke day.A rack of St.Louis ribs,burgers and potato salad.Simple yet delicious.

Best Wishes. Been down that road twice myself. My ab muscle opened just above my navel. About a 4" of an old incision let go. Dr. Looked and poked and said if it dont bother you, leave it be. Been 10 years now. There is bulge like half a Tennis Ball but no problems otherwise....JJ

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.Really can't wait to get this taken care of.

Timing was decent as I'd be pissed to miss the whole Spring run of stripers/blues.

 

[normanaj]

Well this sucks.The pain is pretty bad and using "the facilities" is difficulty to say the least.Hope these issues pass quickly as I'm quite miserable at this point.

Norm that sucks that you are having pain issues. Do as they say don't lift anything heavy be careful

When you posted "finally" I thought you might be Canadian.
Do you have girdle (binder)? Buddy had hernia surgery a year ago and the girdle is his best friend.
I have a hernia that isn't urgent

Today is better less pain for sure but still hurts.Finally being able to relieve myself helped too!

Still can't go to work and the boss can't get hire anyone to cover.By the time I'm ready to go back to work once again the work won't be there as we're already losing scheduled jobs because no one wants to work.
