    Recovering from surgery SUCKS.

    Just had an inguinal hernia repaired. Friggin frustrating not being able to move properly. The weather has been beautiful in the Wairarapa, I keep hearing motorbikes pass on the road. Its torture! Never been so bored in my life.

    The worst part is whenever I cough or sneeze, I'm in agony! I don't recommend getting hernia operations for fun.

    I completely sympathise with your predicament! Had mine done a few years back. It was memorable for the fact that I was recovering from surgery at the exact time that 9/11 was occuring and the nurse woke me in the middle of the night and stuck the TV on to show me what was going on. In my drugged state, I wondered why she woke me up to show me a disaster movie!

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

    hope you have a speedy recovery - hope you don't get hayfever then lol.
    I have surgery in Feb - on my knee - and I won't be allowed on my bike for 2 months.

    yeah - recovering from surgery MIGHT suck ......... but it's a damn sight better than the alternative

    give thanks!!

    I have a very tidy appendix scar, accompanied by a very ugly drain scar.
    Courtesy of Jenny Shipley, and the nurses strike her ministering of the Health portfolio seems to have provoked.
    Or summat.

    You can have the pair of them as a trade, if you want - I'm not very fond of them.

    But apparently, if I didn't have them, I'd be kinda dead right now.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    Hahaha... No my friend, I had decided to omit that bit. I also had a cyst taken out from down below (they thought it was a tumor, turned out to be a benign cyst). It was all done through the one incision but the bruising is intense.

    I get bad heyfever so trying not to sneeze has been an issue of late.

    Sorry mate but I've had an inguinal hernia repair (mesh repair) and its a walk in the park. You need to seriously harden up.

    Try a ACL/medial ligament reconstruction using patella tendon grafts. That hurts a bit more.

    Or a vasectomy. My vasectomy made my balls completely black and blue for two weeks and gave me a ball sack the size of a tennis ball... though I guess Paul's one might beat it. Sounds like the vasectomy from hell.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Yeah it does suck a bit. Even though what you've had done is pretty minor*, just take it easy and don't do anything stupid- you might feel like a wimp but the complications just aren't worth it.
