Wow, poor guy's been through a lot. I'll keep him in my thoughts.

Dare to be different... Drive your Studebaker!!

[warrlaw1]

That'll slow him down for a few weeks. Hope all goes well and he feels 20 years younger.

Good luck Bob

I had two of those done about five years ago. I was prepared for a long down time as I had a friend have hernia surgery ten years prior to that and was off work for 10 weeks.

Surgeon said outpatient surgery, home the same day, day or two to let the discomfort subside and back to life as usual in two weeks including golf.

Durned if he wasn't right.

Medical science just keeps getting better.

Amen. Wife is having partial knee replacement on both legs, and doc is saying one week on walker, one week on cain than out the door. No problem with stairs. I might go have it done, for the improved mobility!

Same situation here as Sweetolbob, the surgery was so easy, I told my Dr. I was recommending that everyone have it whether they need it or not! Ha !! It is so much better than just 5 years ago, HOWEVER- it is still surgery, all the best Mr. Palma, just be patient and plan well before lifting. John

Best wishes Bob for a speedy recovery!

Must of had better doctors than did I. I walked like Igor for at least a month. [V]
Best of luck, BP. So much for being your own cherry picker.

When I had my hernia surgery...I told the Doctor, "I'm all Man"...which means..."Put me to sleep and don't wake me until I'm Well!" ...everything went just fine, 'cept they woke me up too soon!

Bob, you are in our prayers. Hope you are up and around asap!
