Dad had a semi-blown out naval his entire life. Never did get it fixed.
Wishing you the best with your impending surgery.

Surgery!

Just to cap this off, I'm home! It went very well. The pain is not bad at all, kind of like some minor cramping. But I'm still feeling the anesthesia and had a Percocet pill before leaving the hospital too!! And will have a supply of them if needed but will lay off as much as possible. I really appreciate the support I had from my online family - that's all of you! I'm going to take it real easy, I got some window screen, er, mesh so my lifting limit is 3 pounds.
@rBuckner thank you for the update! Glad everything went well - just go easy on these pills, my wife had her gallblader removed and they gave her a bottle with 20 - she took none, only Tylenol. Too many horror stories about painkillers, but well sometimes you need them. Have a quick and successful recovery!!

Where’s the confounded bridge?
I had hernia mesh surgery a few years back. I agree on using the pills sparingly... if Tylenol works for you, that would be ideal but use what works. For my recovery, I found it more comfortable to sleep in a La z boy type recliner than a bed. Much easier to get up from it then while lying down.
Thanks bro! My main concern is to not get constipated. Had that happen after an Achilles tendon reattach years ago. Worst pain ever!
Yeah, you should be proactive, and take some softeners now, whether you need them or not, just in case.
Amen to that!

Take a cap full of Miralax in your coffee every day for the duration. No taste, and that will help keep the constipation down without acting like a laxative. Glad to hear you are doing well. 3 pounds, huh? I guess you won't be lifting any receivers to work on any time soon. Maybe you can spend some time

Shew! Thats great. I am glad to hear it went well.
I will wait till mid to late February to send you a package.
Deal! Don't forget to recheck that +13Vdc and the main filter cap voltages for me. TIA...
Great news.
When it comes to painkillers, I, too, am cautious. When I had foot surgery I got percocet the first day, then when it was offered the second day I took the ibuprofen during the day instead, and percocet in the evening to ease sleep, then ibuprofen the third day and thereafter as needed. They did tell me to not wait, but take something when the pain started, otherwise, you may not catch up with it with a normal dose, but the choice of tapering off to only ibuprofen would be mine.

It is at 13.3 volts per my fluke. The main filters where at 38.9 and 38.8(forget which was negative.)
Fun fact, we're all born with hernias of some type. It's just time if/when they go. Mine was done shitty by old school Army docs who left a gigantic scar and other issues back in 76'.Hi Marantz Buddies!
No, not surgery on a Marantz... on my belly button. It popped out last summer sometime when I didn't even notice AKA an umbilical hernia. So I go in for "refurb" Monday 1/24 AM. It's a minor surgery but does take some getting over so I get a break from stereo work for a bit and can be a smart aleck for a bit! Maybe I'm finally cooked, like the opo out button on a turkey when it's done?
