Hernia surgery tomorrow, woohoo! Lots of fun.

Ouch. Hope everything goes smoothly, including recovery. Take your pain meds.

Be careful with your pain meds. I passed out after my 2nd and 3rd doses taken in the prescribed manner 4-6 hours apart. I quit taking them after the 3rd one and went with 400 mg advil every 6-8 hours and applied ice packs to the incision. Worked wonders. Start a thread like some other nitwit did here 25 months ago and keep up up to date on all your adventures. Good luck. Sitting on your NCAA 2010 Championship cushion and watching highlights of Heyward missing his shot should help ease any discomfort .

Welcome home! Hugs to y'all and to Harley!

Thanks all! Everything went well and so far the pain meds have been doing their job well. Sports(b-ball, baseball and NASCAR) and movies are on the docket for the weekend.

VDB, I understand the joy of being home with your pet, I have been joined on the couch this afternoon by a rotating cast of cats saying hello and catching some zzzz's.

Glad to hear you are doing well, Ymo! Continued vibes, and continued napping cats!

Sleepless in Cincy, must be the 2+ hours I was knocked out this morning. Oh, and the intermittent napping all afternoon.

Sleepless in Cincy, must be the 2+ hours I was knocked out this morning. Oh, and the intermittent napping all afternoon.

I sincerely hope it's better than this:

First, thanks to my visitors (Tillie, DinK and Ozzie) last PM after their Ale House visit. Glad you could see clearly enough to make it to our abode from I-540. Mrs. DD and DD Daughter #2 enjoyed meeting DinK and seeing Tilly and Ozzie again and wish them all well/safety during their journeys today.

Now, onto the more painful matter of hernia repair.

Surgery went well/was successful as were the several hours after the procedure, both at the ho(r)s(e)pital and at home last evening. The "fun" started about 415 AM as I tried to return to bed from the porcelin fixture. I not only passed out once, but did it a second time after foolishly trying to stand up again after the 1st episode. Yea, and that's behavior from a cardiologist . The second one, right in front of my wife, in the dark, prompted screams from her that she was calling 911. I had restored enough cerebral bloodflow at that point, to tell her not to do that as it was a simple fainting episode and all I needed was to have my groggy carcass returned to bed (after some juice, water, another percocet and a cereal bar) which was accomplished after about an hour. That worked until about 8 AM when I awoke for the day and proceeded to scare the @$&* outta her again as I crumpled to the floor whilst stumbling to the commode again. After some delicious juice and another cereal bar, water and percocet, and continuing to feel woozy, we finally figgered out that perhaps it wasn't related to the surgery (though the pain was moderate), dehydration or lack of nourishment. We concluded (with a phone call to the surgeon) that it was probably the damn narcotic. The next round of pain relief was 400 mg of ibuprofen and an ice pack and that has worked well most of the day. We have arrived safely (and sorely ) at the coast but are FAR away from the Wild Ladies of CT. I'll enjoy an ale (no more percocet for me!), another 400 mg of ibuprofen, a small snack and another ice pack to the area before retiring for the night, hopefully recovered enough for a couple long walks on the beach tomorrow.

I don't know what EarlJam-like experiences others have had, but I am not sure I'll ever take another narcotic after that experience.

For those who may have forgotten, either intentionally or unintentionally:

DD,

I believe my experience has been better than your experience so far post-op. I'm still early into it but haven't had the pain killer side effects. Now, years ago when I had my wisdom teeth out, I did have a passing out episode. Right on the floor. Felt like I was walking on air right before I went flopping to the ground.

I LIKE MORPHINE.

[captmojo]

Percodan made me hallucinate.

But, there was no pain!

[bluebutton]

In my son's room finishing off a hard cider (gluten sensitive = no beer) while my husband's coworkers hang out in the living room after a nice dinner of grilled ribeye roast, salmon, roasted peppers and asparagus. It all turned out well although I was kind of nervous about the roast--I'm still new at large cuts of meat on the grill.

Happy and happily buzzed with a son that appears to be asleep. Woo-freakin-hoo!!

Seconded on the lunch but WAAAAAY too much food brought on an extended nap this afternoon. Caramel Porter review tomorrow from the CB&B trader so I'll have to make his a 7 pack next time . Mencocino Imperial Barleywine tonight. Why they call it "imperial" I am not sure. Previously reviewed, so just sip and enjoy tonight without any note-taking.

Nice to hear your doing well. Hope it continues and I'm sure it will. I love cats too.

Was I supposed to plan a trip to Cincinnati and forgot?
