Just leaving for my surgery at the (pardon the expression) butt crack of dawn. A bit anxious and nervous but ready to continue this journey. Please send prayers my way. Surgery is scheduled for 7:30 am. Talk to you all on the other side. Best of luck to the others having surgery today!

So glad all went well. I was told I have a hernia also. Prayers answered.

Ray- The air guy didn't divulge anything - at least my job prepares me for those kinds of conversations lol!! No laughing yet- ill remind nick to not make me laugh - of course then he will try just to be funny haha. Been walking and that felt good- two jaunts at 15 min each. So far so good. Pain is bearable but more then it was earlier. Gas pain is barely there right now - I'm sure it will come back . Hope Kelly feels better

Fluffy dr said the repair doesn't cause any extra pain and good to be fixed - when is your surgery?

So glad your well!

Yes agreed, laughing is very painful.

Have a drain?

Take care.

<3

No no drain just the catheter which will be in place until tomorrow morning!! Yuck

You walked with the catheter and the drain? Oh no sounds hard. Hope mine goes as well. Mine is on 6/19. Start my liquid diet on Saturday.

Glad all went well. 3weeks post op and best and worst day was getting drain removed. Hurt so good.

Yes I'm grateful that I didn't have the drain - walking with the cath etc was not too bad actually ☺

Yesss! Hurt so good. Excellent way to look at it.

Ohhhh, my... The catheter!!! I had blocked that out. (squirming)

I had never had one before surgery. Wasn't as bad as I thought I was going to be. A little uncomfortable.

Should be going home in the next couple hours. Wish I didn't have to leave this room- its like a hotel and it's clean and peaceful. But missing my kids so I'm also glad I'm going home soon! Thanks for all the prayers and best wishes- so far so good

Congrats. We are wishing you the best on your return home. Remember, take it slow and easy. Talk soon...

Hope your feeling great, I hAve my surgery Tuesday and I hope mine goes as well as yours has. Sending Happy thoughts your way.

Good luck!!! Sending good vibes!!!
