Thank you.

The dogs will have to be kept at arms length for sure. They tend to jump up and do the lap dog thing every chance they can. Taking precautions with this. Also going to put their toys out of reach so they don't become trip hazards.

i don't know if this is going to be enough.....but it's all they had after searching through two stores:

Getting ready to get my bag & spare C-PAP packed.

Going to walk a couple miles later on this evening. I think I'll skip the gym and simply do a few laps around the neighborhood instead. I've got the germ-fear thing kicking around in my head. Weather report is good. Fresh air will feel good.

Staying seriously hydrated.

My dogs are big,shepherd and a great Dane, I worry after surgery if they will "hurt me" some days they won't leave me alone.

I really appreciate everyone here. This place is tremendous. So much support.

Thank you everyone. I'm getting as hydrated as I can for the next hour and then cutting it off for the night. One more glass of Crystal Light and then it's several glasses of Water.

It just dawned on me, pun intended, that the next time I see sunlight I will already be on the mend. Sitting up in the hospital bed and savoring the sunlight through the hospital windows.....healing up from the surgery.

I got a call from my nurse this afternoon confirming my 6:00am arrival time. By 6:10am, she assured me I'll have already had a Valium and be 1/2 nekkid. Sounds promising............

I'll see you fine folks on the other side tomorrow. Save me a spot on the Loser's Bench. I promise I'll take up less space each week so I can make room for other folks who'll be joining us.

Good night all. sleep well.

Awesome. Thank you very much.

I'm looking forward to the grilling days again. It'll be funny...... a wing vs 8 of them. 1/2 boneless breasts vs more.....etc. Funny times ahead.

Thank you so much. It's going to go well.

I've got a heap of weight to lose and am very grateful for this opportunity to gain a huge tool for this job.

My dogs are big,shepherd and a great Dane, I worry after surgery if they will "hurt me" some days they won't leave me alone.

Wow. Great dogs. Great big dogs, though. Hopefully you can work with them on keeping down and staying clear of your midsection.

Mine are mainly just going to be a problem when I'm in the bed.

Cool story bro. Best of luck.

[OKCPirate 5,323]

Thanks for sharing and bringing a smile to our faces!! best of luck and let us know how things are going and how you do. All the best!!!!

[Dub 9,922]

Thanks gents.

It's been a long day but everything has gone extremely well.

He was able to do a bang up job on the umbilical hernia repair......he termed it as "solid & permanent ". He'd said before he didn't think he'd be able to do it so well. I'm grateful for this!!!!!!!!!!

The sleeve went well they said.

I just made 6 laps around the hospital wing.

My nurse, Richard, is one strong hombre. I was able to pull up against his grip and sit......then stand. So grateful.

Mouth is dry and my IV alarming. Time for a new bag.

They told me I have 9 holes in my gut.

I'm already conjuring up some cool stories to explain their presence. .........

Gonna let the pain meds work and relax for a while.

@@Dub - welcome to the other side. Keep walking and farting. In 6 days you will be scared s**tless because you have not pooped. Don't worry about it, this too shall pass. Won't be pretty, but in a few weeks you will find yourself doing amazing things, like enjoing mush. But in 5 weeks you will really start to feel the power - umm this is a warning to your wife.

I hear ya, Boss.

I actually just asked her to head on back to the house and get a good night's sleep because Big Daddy was coming home tomorrow and it'll be time for Rompus Room sure enough.

My Surgeon must be a player.

He arrived this evening with five medical students tagging along. Five gorgeous female med students, I might add.

Oh yeah. I'm in great hands.

This wasn't the meds talking. In fact, I'd just made it back in bed after my walk.....pain was rising.....and in they walked. For a second there I thought I was in trouble and seeing Angels.......

They brought the gift of ice chips.....glorious ice chips.< /p>

Haha glad to hear everything went well bro.
