Just came out of hernia operation and will not be driving or bouncing around for next 7 days with this new battle scar from 7 yr old hernia I had VA finally take care of for me. Great doc and staff of nurses and techs did awesome job so will be good to go fishing in a week or so. Post some catches for me and make me drool! :cheers2 I chose to walk out and thru parking lot to car vs use a wheel chair so doing just fine.
Glad you got it taken care of, and had a good team.

Been there done that. I had an umbilical hernia repaired and it hurt to even blink my eyes for the first two days... and the idea of coughing or sneezing was something I lived in mortal fear of. In my case the surgeon cut three quarters of the way around my naval forming a "trap door" of sorts for inserting the hernia repair mesh. Once he put the mesh in place he stitched the muscle tissue closed and then the trap door and that was that. By day three I was getting around pretty good but had very strict orders not to lift anything heavier than my coffee cup for several weeks... nothing heavier than ten pounds for two months... and twenty pounds for six months if I remember correctly.Quote:

I'll probably have to have it done one of these years. My hernia might be different than most. I don't look forward to that day. Something I learned after my cancer surgery, drugs are your friends (within reason). Unfortunately I still take some for lingering pain. Take care, do what the Docs say and let the little woman pamper you. You deserve it.
Best wishes to you and I hope you don't go stir crazy over the next week.
My step son lives in Tampa and is a Vet having done 2 tours in the Middle East, he took some shrapnel.
The VA has taken good care of him with that and 2 bouts with cancer.
The cancer is gone but his back is still a mess, we feel blessed to still have him.
Get well soon I know those fish at lake Lemon want you to take a long rest the way you had been smacking them lately. Thank you for your serviceQuote:

Lemon has seen a lot of new fishermen this season due to high water as I have had quite a few asking questions like where they can park, does it have fish, how you catching them, and they can see the crankbaits on my rods and colors. Simple fact is, last few times I have fished it, everybody is slamming the bank, where they encounter small fish mostly, and only no more than couple of boats besides me out in deep water and mid lake, fishing structure, creek channels, flats and humps, where the larger fish are finally staging. Granted, it’s a hunt to locate them schooling, but when you do find them, you find the better sized fish. I will concede the 24 miles of shoreline to all. :fishQuote:

I was totally amazed at all the presurgery tests and physicalsI went thru, then when wheeled into the operating room, have a team of 9 work on me on this one. Definitely Kudos to the VA and the treatment I get there. Great people and great care in my book! You have my prayers for your son and his service.Quote:

Thanks for the prayers and thoughts. This is my second hernia and the bulge was starting to enlarge and so,I decided it was time to get it taken care of and after all was done, doc said everything went fine and was glad we got it done when we did. 7 days no driving and 4-6 weeks of not lifting over 10 lbs. I go back in 4 weeks for checkup. Will follow his orders and just take advantage of this situation and turn the wife into a slave? :RoflQuote:
