In two hours I will be in surgery to try and repair a _major_ abdominal hernia.



Meet up on the other side ?>:-} ...Jim Thompson

Jim--

remember the most important part of any hospital visit: leaving under your own power.

AND LEAVE THE NURSES ALONE!!!!

I had a Hernia done about 8 months at the British Hernia Centre.

Out on the day, got train home, and back to the weights at the gym a week later, now wearing a belt :-)

Star Wars!!!

I'm already back home!

Enter a chamber unlike any surgery you would expect... then the robots take over!

Doctor says the hernia was there for at least 30 years! All these chemo and infection events weakened it and just turned it loose and let 'er rip... literally.

Thanks for all the best wishes! ...Jim Thompson

Glad its done. With a lot of these things, the anticipation is WAY worse than the actual procedure.

Good luck with the healing.

Yep. I expected ba-a-a-ad results, but other than being quite sore, and advised tp expect all colors of bruise to appear, I seem OK. ...Jim Thompson

Healing post-chemo can be a bear. It goes, but slowly. FYI.

All the best, James Arthur

I know. After that sepsis event I'm being probably over-cautious with everything I do or submit to exposure... avoiding restaurants, crowds. ...Jim Thompson

Are you afraid Jim will be trolling the streets looking for drug money if he takes a few days worth of pain meds? People in pain have a right to get pain meds. Society has gone nuts, on both sides of this issue. Mikek

Fast healing to you, Jim.

For sure. The BS isn't affecting me... but my wife has _extreme_ back problems :-(

Thanks! ...Jim Thompson

Glad you're ok.

Don't be in a rush.

And the candy stripers too.

Maybe you'll meet Stephen Hawking....
