I'm in pain and I "need" sympathy, had my surgery

[steve2470]

I'm really ok but the hernia surgery does really hurt my abdomen right now. Nice thoughts and typing would be very sweet to read. Thanks a bunch in advance for any well wishes ! :-) And, I return the sweetness a million times over to each of you.

1. Glad to know the procedure went well

Here's a gentle :hug: that does not disturb anything! You have my best wishes for a full and speedy recovery :-)

2. Geeze. I may have to get that done soon

Keep me posted on your recovery. Stomach pain is the WORST.

3. Did they give you drugs? Don't be shy, USE them

Hope you heal soon, that cannot be fun....

4. It gets better. I had it too, and it was my first surgery.

Started as a laparoscopy, but they had to do full (6-inch) incisions on both sides (cut a blood vessel).

The pain kind of blew me away. But it gets better relatively quickly (within a few days).

You still need to take it easy for weeks. The hardset thing for me was not being able to pick up my son. But I'm 4 months down the line and I put in a few hours of reasonably heavy yard work yesterday. Of course, that's what gave me the hernia in the first place! (but moving heavy trees after a hurricane is a bit different from weeding)

5. Drugs Work Better Than Sympathy

Didn't they give you any?

6. Now that's the truth! Nothing like real pain to make you appreciate

the wonders of narcotics. ;-)

7. Sending good thoughts your way

for a quick recovery. Don't try to do anything too soon. Pamper yourself! :-)

8. I'm guessing you didn't get into a pissing contest?

:D

Hope you're feeling better soon. Don't be afraid to take the meds.
