Recovery note

watchman · 12-05-2008, 01:05 PM

Well I survived! As some of you know and some don't I went under the knife yesterday to have a high hernia repaired. We discovered the hernia during a yearly medical check up. I thought it was just a torn muscle from my motorcycle wreck several years ago while in Yellowstone Park eluding a Buffalo. And now LIz has another thing to twist the knife in me as she had been trying to get me to see a doctor about this since the trip.

As far as the surgery everything almost went as planned. I did not have to have the mesh implanted just a stitch up job. So it is just a few week of recovery and then step 2 of my self improvement plan to start loosing the extra weight I have gain since I retired.

The one thing that occurred while in the recovery room the nurse could not get me to stay awake and I had a very low oxygen content in my blood leading them to believe that I have sleep apnea. So I will be going the 11th of this month to be tested for that.
This could explain part of my day time naps and low energy, thus the weight gain etc.
A viscous circle!

Everyone else here seams healthy, some sniffles etc. but it is that time of year with Missouri's changeable weather.

I hope this note finds you and yours in the best of health and as always I wish you the best life has to give. Thanks to everyone for being there, the prayers and kind thoughts.

It all works out. I quite worrying about all that stuff. I turned mine over to God and now he worries about it and handles what needs to be done. Less stress that way. Phil: 4-13. Hope your recovery is a short one.

Jim, I'm going for a sleep study tonight, so I will let you know what it's like. Relax and enjoy your recovery so you can get out and polish that bike of yours.

Glad to hear your doing well. Can't lay around all the time but don't overdo. I'm a night owl. I need a nap.
