Glad to hear everything is ok.

 

[Greg]

Thanks everyone. This evening is the best I've felt since this all happened. Ate three full, albeit small meals today. Spent most of the day just relaxing in this beautiful weather...

Sucks to be out of commision for a while, but at least you'll be good for ski season and not kicking off the 2011 disabled list.

 

[Mikey1]

Glad to hear you are on the mend! It's not often that farting is a good sign! Rest up and looking forward to seeing you back at Sundown this season.

 

[RootDKJ]

Wow. Heal up Greg. The season is not far out now!

 

[WoodCore]

Yep. Just good to be home. Thanks to you and WoodCore for stopping in to see me.

Glad to stop and say hello during your hospital stay. Regardless, hope you heal up quick as ski season isn't that far off!

Might try to stop by next weekend and pick up those deck scraps, pretty sure where there going to be used, upon completion will even come up with some cleaver digestion based name for it!

sucks to hear, hope that plumbing heals up soon!

Staples came out yesterday so that's a good start. Energy is coming back. Plumbing all seems to be working.

Great news! Have you come up with a really coool story yet to explain your scar?? Impaled yourself on your ski pole while trying to land a 720 in the bumps?? Mega handlebar impaling while trying to drop a 20 footer on the MTB?? Crowd surfing accident?? :lol:

Great !!! feel better man !! and as Doc says i'd come up with a great story for this puppy


-I like where doc was going with the stage dive thing. How bout a errant stage dive into a pack of aggressive cannibal groupies who all look like Lindsey Lohan sounds like a plausible story for an Axeman Right --DMC ?????

 

[riverc0il]

Here is to a smooth recovery, Greg! :beer:

Sounds like you'll be back banging the bumps again this winter. At least you got the surgery out of the way before the snow starts flying.

 

[legalskier]

Should be fine for ski season.

See? Not so bad after all. Good luck!

 

[bigbog]

Wow Greg.....great to hear that you're on the heal!!!

 

[Greg]

Well, everything was going great until about Tuesday. That's when I started to feel a periodic intense burning in the area of the hernia repair. Sitting and lying down pretty much alleviates it entirely. It mostly affects me when standing or if I bend over, or twist suddenly. Saw the surgeon yesterday and he said everything looks great. Incisions are pretty much healed and he says the repair itself is strong and intact. He basically said that recovery from a hernia repair is rather painful and that most people who work in construction for example haven't gone back to work yet. I returned to my desk job last week and by mid-week of last week I felt pretty good.

I looked around online and came across all sorts of horror stories about people being in chronic pain after hernia repairs, mesh that gets infected, etc. I had to stop looking because obviously most of what people post out there are problems, not success stories. One thing I came across is the concept of nerve regeneration which can have similar burning/pinching type pain. I guess for being 3 1/2 weeks out, it would be appropriate to start feeling something like that. It's just odd because it's more painful, and more debilitating (have to sit a lot) than what I experienced earlier in the recovery period, even when I was still stapled up. I was pretty active over the weekend (light yardwork, housework) so maybe I stimulated the nerves and they are just figuring themselves out?

Anyway, anyone else that has had any sort of open surgery experience a burning/pulling/pinching feeling like this 3-4 weeks out from their surgery?
