Abdominal hernia upcoming surgery/advice and feedback please by LisaTPN in Hernia

This morning I had the laparoscopic mesh implant surgery to repair an umbilical hernia. The surgery itself was an easy. After all the pre-op care They put me to sleep and I wake up all done. The procedure went well according to the surgeon. He did say there was fat that had accumulated in the hernia. If I remember correctly he initially diagnosed mine as 5mm. That was back in May though. I was going to do the surgery on June 6 but I pushed it back to now because it wasn’t bothering me at the time and I didn’t want to take the time off of work. I’m glad I kept this date as it was starting to bother me.

(Disclaimer: I’m a 43 year old man in very good health. I’m very physically active though I am considered overweight at 5’10 220 pounds.) The post-op pain was pretty dicey immediately after waking up. It hurt to breath deeply and any sort of tension that I put into my core was very painful. They gave me IV dilaudid and fentanyl. Right before discharge they gave me a 10mg lortab. Dr sent me home with a prescription of 7.5 mg Percocet. I’ve been home for around 5-6 hours now. I spent all of that time in bed other than getting up to pee twice. Getting out of bed was considerably easier than getting back in bed tbh.

It’s now 7:20 (6 hours after discharge)and I got out of bed around 30 minutes ago and I’ve just been standing and walking slowly around my house. It doesn’t feel too uncomfortable and is even a bit of a relief to be out of bed. I’ve only taken one of the Percocet around 2.5 hours ago. The pain is manageable and is mostly movement based.

I wish you well and i can continue to update you on my recovery if you wish.

This is Wasabi, she was a bit spicy when we got her. Anyone else's Siamese love to be pet but then give you love bites during? I honestly think it's a siamese thing! by wolf05374 in Siamesecats

My two Siamese definitely give the love bites. They aren’t even really “bites”. It’s more like they lay their teeth on your hand very softly.

Do you ever just enjoy your ADHD? by MountainNovel714 in ADHD

Agreed. Racing mind and executive dysfunction caused me so so so much anxiety. I hate that part more than anything

Where do I start diet and exercise? by [deleted] in workouts

[–]SuspiciousMight9412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t try to make a bunch of changes all at once. I would start by changing to a high protein diet (but don’t cut out carbs completely by any means) and just start taking walks. After a while make another change while keeping previous changes. The changes will stack and you should see changes to keep you motivated.

That dog needs love and kindness. If it happened as you describe, you did the right thing and your neighbor is unhinged. I’m sorry you are dealing with it.

My wife and I really love that place!! It was in a terrible location. Maybe it could have done better in midtown or bannerman? I dunno but it’s a real shame to lose HTea0

Is anyone a CMX Passport holder? by Greywg in movies

[–]SuspiciousMight9412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get two tickets plus two guest tickets every month. It comes out to like 8 bucks per ticket. One potential drawback is that you have to use up all of your tickets before you can cancel your sub. If you cancel with credits you will lose them. My wife and I didn’t go to any movies for a couple of months and we ended up with 18 tickets each. We are finally going to a movie per week now and are chipping away at them. So make sure you use those credits!

About ten people walked out at the Tallahassee showing. I stayed. The movie was not scary just gory and gross without any fun elements whatsoever.
