Wishing you a full and speedy recovery.

Good Lord, what a harrowing experience.

Yeah, you’re better off getting it fixed ASAP. I’m thankful I didn’t have a blowout like that, and I feel like I came close a few times before I got meshed. Wear the truss, and be careful until you can get fixed up.

Get well soon!

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”.

Dang it, Mark- that is just too much information!



Hope you fully recover and no more pushing out yer guts.

Hang in there

Yeah, they asked if I got Le Vaxx. So I'm in the database of the Nopes™. I just say "not yet" and deflect all political discussion these days.

Dang! Well fooey! Best wishes to you.

I’ve had 4 of those rascals fixed.

Mark, I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers along with your family, the doctor and nurses doing the repair surgery…God watch over you all give you healing.

Speedy recovery and blessings!!!!

Yikes! Dude...this is definitely one of those things you shouldn’t put off (as you well know now). Best of luck to you.

There’s been no pain or discomfort until this incident. I also didn’t have insurance until a couple of months ago. I’m getting things moving today in between jobs.

Damn Mark. Can't say I've ever experienced that in my 74 years but know others who have. Speedy recovery my friend!

Sent a prayer for rapid and healthy recovery. Had both sides repaired over the years and now coming up on 70yrs I'm glad that I had them done, and the repairs have been solid for the last 40yrs.

Hope it goes well. Even with insurance, I'm still paying off the 4K plus costs my insurance didn't cover for mine last March. It was 4 to 6 weeks before mine was healed up enough to get back to working with lifting restrictions. I'm good to go now, but can still feel weird things every so often. Prayers for you.

Aren't those called "girdles"?

( I kid... Glad it's resolved, Mark.)

Hernia pain blows. You are in my thoughts. John.

Good luck, Mark!

See Mark...shoulda just replaced the packing in that leaky valve...popped your gut tightening that replacement valve didn't you...LOL!

Feel better man...good luck...take it easy.

Best wishes, Mark.

Man, I hope they get you fixed up quick.

The insurance requires that I see my PCP for a referral. He’s on vacation until Monday. I’ll see him then.
