I wasn’t able to get my hernia fixed yet and today I guess I over did it. It popped out and you can knock me over with a feather. I can barely stand up for the pain.

Pray for me, friends.

Oh shit, man. I’m so sorry to hear that. I have a real good idea how that feels. You’re in my prayers, Mark.

Hope you can get in and get that fixed up—soon.

God speed good friend

So sorry to hear. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!

I've got 3 and only one worries me. Every once in a while it bothers me and, luckily I can push it in and go on with work. Wish you the best of luck!!

well your going to get it fixed now if its strangulated. Hopefully they will pick laparoscopic to do it, but in the ER you never know.
Good luck.

They gave me dilaudid (dilaudidn’t work) and the nurse tortured me for about 10 minutes trying to get my guts back in. She couldn’t. Then they called in a surgeon and let me tell you, he just went for it. Man, that hurt like a b-word. I couldn’t take any more and grabbed his hand telling him to stop but he was yelling “it’s in, don’t worry, it’s in”. About 2 minutes later the pain completely went away. I have to wear a truss all the time now.

I’ve got to say I’m disappointed in the pain medicine. But that was the quickest ER visit I’ve ever experienced. Well done to the staff at UPMC Jameson.

Thanks for the prayers.

Wishing you the very best in your recovery!

Glad you are OK. Get some mesh put in there.

Prayer sent Mark. Hope you can get it fixed for good soon.

Dangit man. I hope you get it fixed soon

The ER ain’t no fun to be at! Sending good thoughts, best of luck.

I was hoping to make it to winter so I’d be off of work for the surgery and recovery but that’s not in the cards. Going to schedule it for ASAP.

Good luck man, heal quickly.

That's the right decision. I just finished some surgery that I put off too and I wished I'd gone earlier.

Prayers.

I had a double repair in June, I go back to work tomorrow. There is no convenient time to have this done, just some less inconvenient times if you get to pick the time.

Try to enjoy your enforced relaxation time. Good luck.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

With this whole covid shit you are better getting it done now
Even something like this could be defined as elective and you do not want to wait
I've had two done, it ain't fun.
Hang in there
