You know it could be a bad thing when a Dr assumes something, mine did. He assumed that since i had a hernia 27 yeras ago, that the protrusion he felt was aslo a hernia, WRONG! he opened me up to repair said hernia and lo and behold, guess what, not a hernia, but a tumor which turned out to be 8.2 lbs. No worries, non-cancerous, but it was intertwined around muscle and scar tissue from surgery 27 years ago, so I am a wee bit sore from it all. Any who, my recovery is 6-8 weeks of NO lifting, pulling, pushing or stretching, how in the hell do you not do any of that for 6-8 weeks, lol.

Wow Teresa!!!! That's like being pregnant for a very long time. I am so very happy its all taken care of and you are in good spitits... minus the not doing a darn thing for a long while. Be careful and resist the temptation to be independent.... just ask for help. I know thats hard because I like to do things myself too. How sore are you, really. That must have been something to get out. Take care.
Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

So glad the surgery went well. It really is important to not over do things too quickly. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Blessings, Sheri

How did they not know that you had an 8.2 lb. tumor instead of a hernea? Good grief! That's like a big ole overdue baby you were carrying around. Where was it, anyway?

Well it was supposed to be an navel hernia, so it spread from the navel up to my diaphram and sideways to my right about 6 in.s, same area as the original hernia, yes, it was protuding, but so did the original hernia in the same area. This is why I do not like Dr.s, especialy when they asume, and do not do any additional checking, and this Doc came highly recomended, ha! I was told to expect on a scale of 1-10 for pain, 10 being highest , that I would be around 7 or 8, I would judge me at a 1 or less, ( I do have a very high pain tolerance thou). My daughter and I walked 1 1/2 miles last eve, and I walked another 1/2 mile this morn. My sweet girl went home today, but not to worry, I have my Son, D-in-Law and 2 G/sons watching my every move, lol.

Well Teresa, if your kids aren't enough, one of us will come out there and watch you, like a hawk!! Glad things went smoothly and it sounds as if your feeling pretty good too, especially if you've been out walking. We were all anxious to hear from you, please take care of yourself, if you don't, you'll pay later, believe me!! Love and hugs to you!!

Suzie, believe you me my kids are enough, I feel like I am made of velcro, lol. I won't be doing anything stupid ( but I can dream it), cause I want to be healed "NOW" so i can get back to some sort of normal.

I had hernia surgery about 9 years ago. I felt great when I got home, but a few hours later...OUCH! So do what your doctor tells you and just be glad it is not springtime. You will be healed by then. All the best to you.
