This is going to be a long 4 weeks

[JasonRox]

Just letting you guys know that I just got back from surgery.

I went for a bilateral hernia and I'll be out for 4 weeks. I'm taking extra time just to be safe.

So far it's pretty good. I got some pain, but not a ridiculous amount.

So, yeah. You might see me around here a bit more.

Cheers.

Good lord, Jason! What's a bilateral hernia?

I hope you are feeling better soon. we'll keep you company while you get well. Of course, you have to share your pain meds with us... heh heh

Oh dear, I hope you're feeling better soon. Your extra time here will be welcome.

Bilateral means a hernia on both sides of the body.

I hope it goes by quickly.

I'm thinking about going to Texas next week. Long drive though.

How did you get it, deadlifts?

How did you get it, deadlifts?

More like lifting that scooter on its stand.

Heal up soon Jason

 

[Math Is Hard]

hmm.. I think we have to be careful not to make Jason laugh. That could be very painful..

My son had that done at age 4. It does happen. Basically, in boys after the testicles descend into the scrotum, the openings through the abdominal muscles (inguinal canal) are supposed to close. Sometimes one or both do not, and there is a weak spot that can allow a hernia to develop.

May son was running around and climbing the furniture 2 days after he was released from the hospital. Kids heal fast, young adults relatively fast but not as fast as children. Old folks like me . . . well it takes awhile.

 

[mattmns]

Yep, I had to have a hernia operation when I was very young, can't really remember it though. Get well soon Jason!

 

[Cyrus]

All this rap has made you deaf mattmns.

 

[JasonRox]

No, not deadlifts.

I had one as a baby, so doctor thinks it might have been already there, but didn't come out until now.

Yeah, laughing is painful.

 

[Danger]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I had both sides done, but a year apart. Putting on a seatbelt was no fun for a few days. Oh yeah... and coughing.

 

[heartless]

Yeah, yeah, Get better and recover as fast as possible Jason. Hernia isn't fun. Maybe instead of going anywhere, stay home. Luggages are heavy, travel is a little weary, and that isn't good for overall health.

 

[Moonbear]

Best wishes for a speedy recover, Jason. Yeah, don't laugh, don't cough, don't ...nah, you probably already know not to do that.

You might want to stick to the physics threads until you're recovered enough to laugh. The GD threads might be too painful.

 

[JasonRox]

Thanks for all the support everyone.

It's rather hard to sleep like this, so it will probably remain like on and off sleep until things feel really good.

I guess it's time to watch some Infomercials tonight.

 

[scorpa]

Get well soon Jason!

 

[JasonRox]

Ok, here I am like 2 days later. Things have improved, especially the pain part. I never thought I would need this many pain killers before.

I don't use as many pain killers now though. I try not to, but sometimes... especially yesterday, I just had too.

I can walk around fairly well. I haven't been on the computer much because the chair isn't that great and it is in the basement. I don't like going up and down.

Anyways, so far so good.

Cheers!
