Going under the knife...Tues. a.m., me, too!
This is a discussion on Going under the knife...Tues. a.m., me, too! within the Bob & Terry's Place forums, part of the The Back Porch category; I am having a bouncing, baby hernia tomorrow.
Or, something like that.
Will be laparoscopic. So, recovery shouldn't be too bad.

Nurse called this a.m. to ask a bunch of questions (felt like speed dating, or something). When she asked what I was allergic to, I replied, "Pain!"
I'll probably be back soon. If anything I post sounds weird (weirder than usual?), blame it on the drugs.

Good luck Michael...and it's called 'Morphine'...I always ask for it by name.
I love those 'handheld button' with the self-serve, of course you have to be having an organ removed before they'll take the order.

Will say a prayer for ya! If they give me morphine I'll meet you on the other side. Deathly allergic to it!!!

Dave et al,
Thanks!
I am doing pretty well.
Thank God for laparoscopic surgery!!!
My wife had her gall bladder out about 20 yrs ago-full abdominal surgery. This was NOTHING compared to that.
They had a time getting my O2 saturation levels consistently up above mid-80s. Once that was done, out the door and headed home.
I was pretty sore, but I have hurt myself nearly as bad by being a weekend warrior in basketball or racquetball.
Moving slow.
Taking it easy.
A few hundred posts on DC.
2 novels.
So, overall, doing well. Thanks.
