Dad's surgery success!! :D

[shais_mom]

This is like Deja Vu, there was a thread like this almost a year ago, but hopefully tomorrow will be easier than the back surgery.
Tomorrow my dad is going to my hospital to have a hernia repair. He should be home tomorrow evening. He'll be recouping for about 4 weeks.
Thoughts and prayers for him please?
THANKS! :D

[Taz_Zoee]

Your dad will be in my thoughts tomorrow. :)

[Catty1]

Prayers that your dad has a speedy and painless recovery. I hope he won't try to be 'tough' and not take his pain meds! :)

Best wishes!

[shais_mom]

Thanks! Taz and Catty! :D

Aw, Staci, you can count on my prayers for your Dad. I know how much you worry about your Mom and Dad - they are wonderful parents.

Your Dad will be just fine - all he has to do is follow Dr.'s orders..........easier said than done.

Big hugs to you and your whole family. Just think - by Thanksgiving you will all have much to be thankful for - good health - and all of you back up and on your feet (like both feet:D)

[shais_mom]

well he got to go home around 530pm.
They took him back to surgery about noon and by quarter after one they were telling us to go back to the room for the dr to come talk to us. He put some mesh in - he's only allowed to walk for 2 weeks. No stitches are in place.
He was back in the room around 2pm -
he was allowed to eat so he ordered bacon, eggs and pancakes. Then before he left he ordered chop steak with mushrooms and french fries!!! :eek:
He was HUNGRY!
he was feeling pretty good.
I think he's probably sleeping now at their house! :D
Thanks everyone! :D

No Zipper ???? :eek:
Did they *glue* him shut??

"Only allowed to walk for 2 weeks"??
Not sure I get the meaning of that ...
Meaning: Can't work & mow grass till after 2 weeks?
or: No running till after 2 weeks ??

Has Mom grabbed all the keys to the Vehicles and Boy Toys?

GLAD he's back home and starting to Feel Better ...
Best Wishes for a full & Speedy Recovery!!

;)

[Catsnclay]

Oh Staci!


Your poor mother!! Does she like playing nurse??!!! Between you and your dad I bet she will need a nice break (like a day at the spa ;) ) when you both are healed !!


I am so glad to hear that your dad's surgery went well and he is feeling better.


That food thing - must be an Ohio thing - my dad, who was born & raised in Youngstown, does the very same thing after surgeries - where's the food!!! They just gotta have their food!! :rolleyes: :)


Ok, no more surgeries or injuries for you and your family - at least for a little while - please!! :p

I have no idea. Not sure if he's steri-stripped or what.
Only allowed to walk. Means only allowed to walk. No running, pushing, lifting, (anything over 5 pounds- so we won't go to what he told the nurse :rolleyes: ) and no s-x. :eek:
now do you get it?! ;)

[Cinder & Smoke]

Lifting ... (anything over 5 pounds- so we won't go into what he told the nurse :rolleyes: )

now do you get it?! ;)

:eek:
:p

He must be feelin purdy good!

[shais_mom]

:eek:

[K9karen]

Remember back in the day when hernia surgeries required days in the hospital? Amazing now, huh? My mom had 2 hernias and they meshed her too! Glad your dad has his appetite! Hope you mom can keep him still. ;) I hope he has a speedy recovery!!!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm glad to hear that your father's surgery went well and that he's now home. I hope he'll have a speedy recovery and continue to feel well.:)

[Cinder & Smoke]

How's Recovery, Day 2, going? ... Is he bored silly, yet?

Mom: Where's your Dad?

Dawter: Oh, he' out in the barn, sitting on the tractor, makin "Varoom-Varoom!" sounds.

:D
Feel Better Soon, Mr. M!

that's actually pretty close to the truth except it would be his semi - if he hadn't delivered it back to the company.
:rolleyes:
they called and sang happy birthday to me and my mom said he was driving her crazy. the place he used to work called and told him they had a check for him so he was going to walk down there to get it! (1/4 - 1/2 mile away) b/c the doc told him to walk walk walk. My mom informed him that wasn't happening!

:D

[critter crazy]

Glad he is doing well!! I can just imagine how hard it is to keep him from doing anything he isnt supposed to!!

My son had a Hernia operation when he was just a year old, talk about a pain!! How does one keep a 1yr old still?? I dont know how we managed, but we did!:D

[anna_66]

I'm a little late, but glad to hear your dad is doing good.

Hope he's listening to the nurses and not having s*x;):D

[joycenalex]

[shais_mom]

I'm a little late, but glad to hear your dad is doing good.

Hope he's listening to the nurses and not having s*x;):D
oh yea - I think it hurts bad enough that THAT is far from his mind. And my mom is thrilled. She was hoping the nurse would say 4 weeks! :eek:

[jazzcat]

Glad to hear things went well. I hope he make a quicky recovery.

[Rachel]

Good news that all went well and the innerds are healing. Guess big bouncing dogs have to watch whose lap they hop onto.

[gini]

Staci, I hope your Dad continues to heal well - and that he behaves!

[4 Dog Mother]

Staci, having the grandkids here keeps me from being on the computer much especially when I am off work from Friday until Monday. Glad your dad's surgery went well. And hope your mom makes it through her second patient's recovery sane.
