spec4 e4 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 On Friday, I had an hernia surgery and everything went fine. It was a little worst then they thought but fix it. After what I have been Thursday, I really can't complain but it hurt like an son of a biscuits. It burns at timesome and other it's been ok. My wife has been there for me every step of the way. She has been my rock that I lean on. What an woman. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 It's a great thing to be able to trust in your wife. Be sure you do not violate the weight lifting limits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spec4 e4 Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Rob its been a few years since my hernia surgery and i was really surprised how fast I healed up. Here's the problem, I don't listen to anyone. But my wife said she will help me listen to my doctors. Lol. My doctors think it was the car accident after the emergency surgery that did the hernia. It's more painful then the emergency surgery but then again, I was out for 4 to 5 days out of it. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec4 e4 Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 My doctor is great. Took really good care of me while i was under his care. Even asked my wife if she was OK and made sure she was taken care of too. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Think of it this way- you exceed the lifting limit and there's a good chance you will be back in the operating room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Hess Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Incisional hernias like that are a biatch. You need to be VERY careful to not lift anything and take really good care of that. And lose a few pounds too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went from 310 to 200 lbs. About 14 months ago. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec4 e4 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Day 2 at home. Went to see my PCP and she already knew I got my hernia fix. Went home and took an nap. Seat in my chair and watch TV. FALL ASLEEP and did nothing. My doctor said I was doing good. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec4 e4 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Day 3: walked around at Bushnell outlet. Pick up an nice 4.5-18X40 AR optics scope and rifle rest(birthday present). Then walked around Harbor Frieght and pick up an few tools. Then walked around Sam's and got a few things. Wife was with me the whole time and she would not let me pick up anything. Went home and I was feeling ok but a little soar. Took an pain killer and took an nap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I didn't know Bushnell had outlets. Do they have "really good" prices? That might be worth a road trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec4 e4 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I didn't know Bushnell had outlets. Do they have "really good" prices? That might be worth a road trip. There is two near me. One is in Kansas City, KS and that one is the big one and they do have some good deals. The Lee Summit, which the one I visit today for the first time was small and had ok sales. 10% off for NRA member and must product an card. Scope, rifle rest and some targets was about $230 Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Next time I'm in the area, I may check it out. Usually, though, I'm "on the way somewhere else" and don't have the spare time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzRednek Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Rob, I'm not a medical person but can tell you from my personal experience after the hernia surgery. Careful with the pain pills, they can plug you up and the last thing you want to do is strain your guts trying taking a dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
