Well surgery was Wednesday and I was down the rest of the day and most of yesterday, so I'm making the first two daily updates back to back now.

Day of Surgery:

Going under is such a weird thing. I remember then wheeling me into the surgery room and then waking up in the recovery room lol. It was a laparoscopic bilateral hernia repair. While I was under, they found a second hernia on the other side and repaired that one too. The laparoscopic procedure is supposed to be less invasive and a quicker recovery. Instead of making a big incision at the hernia, they make several small incisions around your belly button for the instruments to go in and repair.

I woke up pretty comfortable and not much pain, just waiting for the anesthesia to wear off. They want you to pee before you leave, so I just laid there and sipped on water and sprite until I feel like I needed to go. Getting up was a bit of a *****. Not super painful, but my entire abdomen felt weak. When I started walking to the bathroom is when I could tell that I just had surgery. Everything was pretty sore. Peeing was also very uncomfortable. Didn't really hurt, just uncomfortable.

I had to be wheeled out in a wheelchair, helped into our SUV and my wife drove me home. I posted up very carefully on the couch and pretty much slept the rest of the day and all night.
