Today is the day
 

In about 2.5 hours I go in for my hernia surgury. I'm nervous as hell so send a few good thoughts my way.

Been working all night and haven't been able to eat or drink a thing since midnight and I feel crappy because of it. Oh, and to top it off, I managed to slam my right index finger in my car door last night before I came into work.

Great start eh? Can't even have a pain killer.:shake:

Good luck, dude. Nothing to worry about. Been down that road before, too, and you'll be just fine.

Good luck buddy.

Good luck .

Good luck

routine

I would use a perminant marker and put 'NOT THESE' on each testicle and your wiggle stick!

Good luck

t's and p's, my good man.

Good luck. My pasta tastes good.

Well, at least you didn't say the M work you have been stuck on lately. LMAO

Oh, for the record, don't ever smash your right index finger in a door. You use that finger for just about EVERYTHING.

Hope you have a nurses of midgets.

That got me to thinking, why did I capitalize the m at all.?

Good luck!

Throw an extra several down for me tomorrow.

Definitely shake the surgeon's hand prior to the surgery to ensure they are steady. Nothing worse than waking up with 2 balls less than you went out with.

In all seriousness, good luck.

I just hope her husband didn't piss her off this morning.

well, I'm out. See ya all on the flipside.

Are you the first of day? I always wait to be the first of the day. So I can eat and drink as soon as possible.

I will man. Hope the recovery is quick!

I almost posted this.

watch your cornhole Bud.

Hope all goes well for you. Good luck!

Thinking about ya. Hope all goes well and the recovery is quick.

A friend of mine had this done last year.

He has to go back in next week to have the mesh put in.

Something about when it is strangulated, like his was, they cannot use the mesh.

Oh wait, you're not using a groupon for some cut rate surgery center in the back room of a butcher shop are you?

so THAT'S what a a herd of midgets is called!! a nurse! I'll be damned. :D

good luck guru!

Ouch on the car door slamming, sorry to hear about that. Oh the surgery will be a piece of cake, you are good to go and good luck.

From yer bellybutton to yer kneecaps, you'll be clean.

Good luck Guru.



DOes Hernia Surgury hurt as much as they say??

Worry not, you will be ok!

Those medical people are experts at pain management. They do this stuff for a living :)

I have had 5 hernia surgerys over the years and compared to when they used stone knives and bear skins in the seventys today it's a peace of cake. You will be fine.

My best to you. Good luck!

Sounds like you're already under the knife at this point, but here's hoping for a smooth recovery!

Get well bro .....

This. Perhaps all of us at the get together tomorrow can give ya a buzz. ;)

You'll be fine, just think of it as a week off work.

best of luck Guru!

ROFL

Can be. I had a doc botch my client's surgery, resulting in 2 additional procedures.

Good Luck, thoughts sent.

Good Luck...I had a double hernia op about 5 years ago. enjoy resting and the meds for a few days.

THEY CHOP OFF YOUR BALLS SOON

I'm back. Long day. Very sore. two words

What kind of pills did you get?

You ****ing druggie.

They gave me vicodin and they ****ed up my stomach, and so they switched me to percoset and it's ****ing up my stomach.

I didn't get my balls operated on though, I just have a broken ankle.

Congrats on not dying.

It wasn't my balls Buck. Why are you fixated on my balls anyway?

this whole board was created about a game that features balls. oblong balls. we all love balls.

Glad you came through OK, Guru...Pain and hospitals are no fun (trust me, I know) but you'll get through it.

You're not already home, are you?

Been back since noon. just haven't gotten around to posting till now.

Being put under is a strange experience. you see a mask put over your face then all of the sudden you wake up in another room all patched up.

Wow...I would have thought for that kind of surgery you'd get an overnight stay.

Was it arthroscopic?

would like to hear more about the post-op and recovery....

I had hernia surgery about 20 years ago....and it hurt like hell afterwards cuz I was sneezing with a cold (felt like knives in my groin each time I sneezed).

I now have another one on the other side that I've had for several years that I'm at the point where I cant put it off much longer...

Hoping technology has advanced.....I've heard some hernia surgeries now can be lathroscopic....??

Pretty straight forward in my case. Single incision for mesh and closed up. Op was done in under 45 minutes. Recover was about two hours though. Takes a while for the grogginess to lift enough to walk.

You are right about sneezes too. I have coughed a couple times and damn it hurts.

get some rest....if I remember correctly.....take your pain medicine BEFORE you feel the pain coming back....

Yeah, I tend to prefer having the pain as a reminder to not do something stupid.

Been getting by on on pill but will take two when I go to bed.

I have drank this much water in a long time.

Been there done that twice.

What hours does your surgeon work? Bankers hours? That's BS.

Best of luck, Guru.
