We 6/1/16
I got up around six am and watched the last hour of THE HATEFUL EIGHT that I began Tuesday evening. A beautiful sunny and sultry early summer day.
The appointment was for 945am and it was at Dr. High's office near First and Rutledge on the 3rd floor. I got there about 930am and was finished with the appointment by 945am.
He asked me if it was the worse thing that ever happened to me and I said it was probably in the top five. He checked the incisions and said they were fine and that I could remove the tapes. He said everything looked fine and I had a double hernia on the right side. The surgery in 2013 only involved a single procedure. I have a 2% chance of a recurrence on either side. Sounds like good odds to me.
I drove downtown and parked on South 8th accross from the State Police building. Went to the library and got three cds and a couple of books. Then, I walked down to the South Grand McD's for a dollar cheeseburger.
I am free to resume my regular life on Thursday, June 16th. Can't wait!!
Tu 6/21/16
It really did take a full month of recovery. I am still not back to 'full weights' at the Fitclub. And, occasionally I will feel a slight twinge on my right side.
