I also had to have a 2nd surgey to correct what the Dr missed the

freaked me out..:eek:
I'm glad you are home now & resting. Get well soon.:)
Glad you are home, let the healing begin!
Hernia repairs are very common and have to do with the condition of you area you are having the sugery in.Quote:

An incisional hernia is a weakness in the muscle wall of your abdomen. The 'fix' is to sew up the incision in the muscle wall. If the muscle wall cannot hold the 'bulge' in, a surgeon wil place a patch of material over the area, secure it with stiches and that helps spread the tension across more of the adominal muscles!
All in all they are a very common surgery and sometimes have to be redone for many reasons!
Rest is probably the best medicine right now. Get plenty of it and get better. :)
1-mojo generates a fair amount of heat as a lapcat 2-vegging out infront of lolcats and ihasahotdog isn't a good thing when percoceted. *snork*
