Sitting at the hospital waiting for surgery this morning. After my terrible experience here in 2017 after surgery, I'll be getting up and walking out if I'm treated in any way remotely similar to then.
Still upset about it. Despite having coverage for a private room, I was put in a room with a recovering drunk who pissed all over the floor and curtain between the bed not once but 3 times in 3 hours. And nurses only dabbed it clean with a towel. No disinfectant. Gross.
Laying in a hospital bed. Going to be a long recovery. The hernia was bigger than he thought. So he used a large mesh and stitched to the abdominal wall all over.
Mowing the yard again, only got the front done on Friday, rained Saturday and Sunday, Hill too wet to mow Monday, dialysis on Tuesday, so today I had to mow it all because the front that I cut on Friday had already grown a couple of inches. Think I will roundup the whole thing and plant plastic grass, I bet that there is a city ordinance against plastic grass.
As my luck would have it, turns out the hernia was much bigger than they thought. They had to basicall use a much larger mesh covering my entire abdomen. This morning I was told there would be a small incision over my belly button and one on each side of the abdomen for camera access. Well, I also received 8 more small incisions to allow the mesh to be sewn to the abdominal wall so it doesn't move. Yes, I'm hurting.Hospitals are no fun.
Hope you have a speedy recovery this time.
Sure wish you didn't have to go through this again.Still hurting. But was up walking first thing this morning. Had very high blood pressure yesterday but overnight it came back to normal. All system working. Hopefully going home today. I'll be back sleeping in the chair for a while.
Sure wish you didn't have to go through this again.
Oh sorry!
GET WELL BRIAN!!!!

What are you feeding this ducks? Their Giant!!
LMAO. Does look like that. Doesn't it?Is that a $ sign in the middle of your belly?
Dayum, What a coincidenceDamn you guys are going through some shit. Hang in there the both of you. This too shall pass.
Nah, not going to bitch about my foot today. No desire to sound like a damn snowflake.
Damn. That sucks. My brother is 42 and had a stroke in April. He's going for a valve job in july.
As for me, I'm in severe pain. We removed the bandages as per dr orders and counted 32 staples spread over my abdomen which means there's just as many stitches under the skin holding the mesh to the abdominal wall. Swelling is very bad right now so the mesh is pulling under the skin. And when we removed the bandages we discovered that I'm allergic to the bandages they used. I now have lovely blisters in amongst the stitches.
