Cut me open! - Page 2

My dad's had a double hernia repair.

My brother, as a toddler, had a double hernia repair.

And I, when I was 11, had a double hernia repair.

Thanks for the weak groin muscles, Dad!

I was mortified because I was an underdeveloped pre-teen and my parents wisely chose a cadre of male doctors to look after me. Never mind that I cried in shame the first time I had to drop my pants in front of them.

And when I awoke from the surgery, there were two bandages cut to look like hearts glued to my groin area. This only confirmed my worst fears about the doctors noticing that I was a girl. Yeah, I know. They're doctors. Of COURSE they noticed. But did they have to notice notice?

Good luck!

Good luck Ron. Hope it all goes well, which I am sure it will unless you're having it done at Good Sam(I am kidding, It's a fine hospital)

Hope all goes well.

It would be interesting to see those scars. Would it be rude of me to ask you to pull down your pants the next time I see you?

Well, everything went according to plan. The Kaiser staff was great and efficient and both procedures were done in about two hours! I checked in just before 2:00 and was out and home shortly after 5:00!

I'm moving about very gingerly right now. I have vicodin and frozen peas and my daughter is staying the night to take care of dad. I'm loaded up with books and DVDs. I'm home from work for two weeks and I'm sure by next week I'll be going stir crazy.

Thanks for all the good thoughts and mojo. I'm sure I'll be glad when all is said and done.

see you at the zoo

Great news! I'm glad you're home recovering and doing well. Take care, rest and enjoy having your little girl around to take care of the old man for the night.

Wow, that's some strong Vicodin if it freezes your peas!

I'm glad everything went well, Ron. My daugter just went through it (she had no problem dropping her drawers for the Dr. however

).

Abd I went through pretty major surgery last year. I hope your healing goes well! And take it easy and heal before trying to do anything heavy!
