Glad everything went well, including the new scar. Anything fun you can relate from surgery?
Maybe not fun, but had interesting conversation with the surgeon about how people who are active , whether its weights, running, walking, BW stuff, tennis…active people in general recover better. He said of all those groups lifters tend to the best . I offered up 2 reasons… first people, like the ones that are on this site are used some level of discomfort, strain or soreness… so they need less meds ( which delays the healing process in my opinion if for no other reason it saps your energy to do stuff which is low after surgery to begin with). 2nd, they can follow instructions, a plan, a progression because of all the time spent following various programs you are more likely to have your patient actually walk up an down the driveway 6x a day for example to keep blood clots at bay, move fluids etc… especially when they look outside and see 8 inches of snow. The average person says I’ll do it tomorrow…it was 12 degrees out this AM and walked a half mile to try and help the healing process…anyway… I have about 4 weeks before they will let me start lifting…I am hoping after my consult mid next week he will cut that to 3 weeks…the day just starts out better after some Lifty work.

Never thought about the blood clot issue. Any feeling of an empty space where the hernia was located? Guess I’m getting a bid morbid. Anyway, glad you’re mending well.
Where the hernia was is all swollen feels more like I added a small rock! They had to do mine the ole fashion way by slicing me instead of laparoscopy . The cool thing is I have no stitches or staples… Like Humpty Dumpty they glued me back together!

Now that you’re glued back together, how about a new moniker “new and improved” ?
Definitely not new!!! lotta miles on these treads!.. Improved well it will be nice to DL without body parts changing places!
“…body parts changing places.” I had a state policeman cousin who was/looked super strong. (He once had a lung explode while running up a small mountain.) Anyway he had a bad cancer in midsection from which surgery made him recover, for a few years. I saw him in between cancers and he was wearing a weight belt to keep all vital organs in place because the surgeon had to remove so very much connective tissue to save him.
