I leave you alone for one week and "look what happens!" You go and get yourself into another Hospital visit deal.

Seriously, I am glad you are doing well and they didn't screw anything up!
Now.... Get home and relax for a while. We can safely play in the street on our own for a while.

Glad everything went well and hope you are at home by the time you read this.

Since these hernia's which we didn't have before are not uncommon, why are they occurring. It seems to me that it would be a less than workmanship methodology when they are closing us up after the big show or perhaps once the "star" surgeon is done they turn it over to a 2nd tier surgeon.

It seems common enough to be a systemic problem somewhere.

Surgery went well 2.5 hours and they didn't have to open me up. Turns out there were at least 5 hernias. Doc sad he quit counting after that.
Epidural worked but they also put me under. No pain narcotics though so hoping for the best

In my hospital room now. Did not get Foley and everyone at the hospital now knows why. Next person in this hospital with a neobladder should thank me as I am teaching all the nurses about neos. :)

Anyway, I feel great as long as I don't try to sit or turn. :)

Probably go home tomorrow or Saturday.

My main hernia was the size of a fist Lee. I wouldn't worry about a small one but do use the binder.
