Well, I am impressed in the advances in medicine. I had a tummy hernia repair done yesterday and was up walking about an hour after the surgery. I am cut open from belly button to sternum and a mesh placed in as this was the third time that this incision was repaired, yet I feel great. The last time I had this hernia repaired I was in hospital for a week and still felt like crap for a week afterwards.
Best of all, I may be able to finish the 1 week build!

my father had a similar operation a few years back and he had to stay in hospital for over a week.

The cynic in me often wonders how many out patient surgeries are insurance company driven (especially here in the US), but in your case it sounds great!    :thumbsup:

Presumably you are on some pretty good pain meds, so I'll be looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the One Weeker!!  ;D
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Glad to hear everything's okay Gary, didn't even know you were going in. Now belly up to the bar, but don't bust a gut laughing at the jokes because we couldn't stomach it.

Gary, glad things went well. Be very thankful your Doc wasn't a what-If fan or you might be sporting a new set of jugs  ;D

Don't over do it, don't want to hear your going in for round four because you thought you were superman!

Thanks to all, but you're not gonna believe this. About 2 hours after I made the post about my surgery, I asked my son to drive me to Wallmart to get some Rubbermaid containers for my books. We were at a red light and a guy in a jeep slammed into the back of us. My son was fine but I was pretty torn up. Something about blood pooling beneath the surgical site as a result of torn blood vessels in an already torn open area. My shoulder and neck are a mess too because I could hear him sliding and I turned to see what was happening behind us. Got home at midnight.

I am seriously stoned from the new meds I am on. Waaaay more powerful than Tylenol 3's. Poor fuzzy bunny in the jeep felt awful and called last night to see if I was OK. He felt really badly about it. No real damage so frig insurance and such. Maybe I should make him buy me a new airbrush!
