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.

I wish you luck, Brian and will be thinking about you.

I expect to have another busy day.
Ali's mom is coming by today to talk with her.

I feel your pain, at least here, the VA medicates them so much, they can't even move.

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.

Hospitals are no fun. :hammer:

Hope you have a speedy recovery this time.

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.

How about green tinted concrete and a riding vacuum cleaner?

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.

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.

I was up with a teething toddler @ 4:30a.
Then again with Ali wanting to know if a small temp was need for concern.

This morning everyone is happy.
I'm hooked up to my caffeine drip.

Thanks. I'm moving slower than a snail but at least I'm home. For a procedure that was supposed to be a laproscopic less invasive deal, this one hurt way more than any other surgery

What are you feeding this ducks? Their Giant!!

Kent poultry feed.
The dark ones are Indian Runners.
That's what Kiwi and the brown ones are.
We think.
A couple of the brown ones are getting blue markings beginning to appear.
Kiwi is gray and stands out from the others.

Soon they'll be cooped.
My son lets them on the pond alone sometimes.
They stay huddled in a group.
It scares me because I fear a fox will come racing out of the woods.

Well, this isn’t exactly about just today’s activities, it’s more of a summation to the week . . . I’m back on chemo , Jan had a heart attack ( but there was fortunately no heart damage ) , and I got a free husqvarna 350 that needed a P&C ,so it is now wearing a 346xp jug .
Been a wierd week to say the least . But , we are both fine ,so that’s all that matters in the end .

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.
