Hernia surgery

#21
Discovery of problems while at the Hospital is the best place to be. I went to do lab test at the VA and then walked over to emergency entrance and said I thought I had something wrong with my heart and 3 days later and one stint. I went home.
Six Gun it will work out.

Should be over by now.
I don't expect to hear back from you for several days now.
Rest, and try not to move.


....Take time to heal.

alright, you made it through, now if you don't get addicted to the pain meds it is all down hill...wonder how long the doc said to stay off mini bikes?

If you are taking opiates for pain, get yourself some prunes or something similar. Those prescription meds will constipate the hell out of you. Makes you feel like you are trying to pass a cinder block!:doah:

I've got one of those and I've been putting it off for about.......... 3?..........years now?? Something like that. :anon.sml:

Started really bothering me after riding this weekend.... :mad: So I guess I'm gonna have to start paying attention and get it taken care of soon. Glad to hear you're doing alright!

Hey fellas, 3 week update; still kinda sore but the hernia pain is gone, I had that on me for about 2 years so I ain't sorry I done it. It wasn't fun. Pain was bad especially the first 2/3 days but the meds helped (I was high as hell when I posted that pic) one spot lower right side pain was sharpest thing I ever felt. Feels like maybe the corner of that mesh or a stitch a little too tight.My scrotum swelled up too looked like a old rotten peach and my dick looked like a peanut still swollen some but its working! I went out and started working on that wards bike today and got that same spot to hurting so 6 weeks is probably a good estimate for a 53 y.o. 30# over weight smoker. I couldn't do 8 hours yet.No way. I see the heart doc on the 22nd and if he don't electro cardovert me soon I'm gonna stick my foot in a galvanized bucket of water clamp the ground on it and stab myself in the chest with the stinger. I want to get 20+ more years outta this deal.Sorry if this is just too much information but what I really want to say is thank you. It made a big difference to know that I had some guys (complete strangers) but friends that gave a damn. I appreciate it. Sixgun
