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
