Tomorrow at High Noon they will do on me "Robotic Right Inguinal Hernia Repair With Mesh, Appendectomy, Possible Open". Don't know why so late in the day. Hope the Doc does not get tired in middle of the whole procedure. I wished I had not run myself in the ground down in Kents Store, Virginia this summer. All up to My daughter Heather, the Doc and the Good Lord now.
Willie Jr. can't wait to play with my daughters dogs Ollie and Bella.
If you would please say a prayer for me. —————-Ray

I had two hernia surgery's same same about 10 years apart the 1st time the doc told me all most all the muscle had torn away from the bone but did the best he could To attach it
2nd time years later the doc decided no mesh needed even aftwe I requested it That was 30 years ago so I guess it's OK

Was a very long day but happy to report that I survived. Just walked in the door at 8:30 pm. They took my appendix out and put the mesh in. Too late for my daughter to drive me upstate to her farm in Delaware County. I will try to stay with her for a week or so.
Will p/u some pain med in the am before we drive upstate.
I will try to lurk for a while on my daughters computer.
Thank you all for your many prayers. God is good. ——————Ray
Glad they got you fixed up. Take it easy and heal.
Take it easy 'till you get healed up good. Glad things went well.
I’m glad everything went well. In a few days you will feel better and able to get around as before, and don’t try and lift anything heavy.
Picked up some Tramadol this am if i get desperate. Headed up to my daughters farm in Delaware County 2+ hrs. She knows more about horses than anyone i ever knew. She even took her horse to college with her. She has a lot on her plate now with her two horses and dad. SIL and grandson really not horse people so its all on Heather. Wished I had had the money. She has degree in PT but should have been a Vet.
Grandpa always had work horses. No tractor for him. His brother was a horse breeder. Must be in the Genes.
My good friend and neighbor was NYPD for nine years and he and wife and other neighbor watch my house like a Hawk. He tried so hard to get in K-9 but nearly impossible so he resigned and is now a NYC Fireman. Was allowed to purchase his service 9MM Clock. He has another same Clock. One for the left hand and one for the right! Went to the Fireman's Academy also. His wife is a Paralegal and son is a great baseball player. Scouts are checking him out.
Many here probably don't understand that I hate the politics, taxes and gun laws in NY State and when I bail out for Kents Store, Virginia it will be so hard to say goodbye to my neighbors.
Hope I can log on to "Forum" when I feel better with my daughters puter. Stay well /happy you guys/gals. Again, thanks for all your prayers and Happy New Year————————-Ray
Glad you are doing well. Take care and follow the docs orders .
Glad to hear all went well, Ray. Follow doctor's/daughter's orders and get healed up.
I've had 2 hernia surgeries, and have to say they hurt for a while. I was glad to have the meds. But it was well worth it in the end. Hang in there, and don't try to do too much, too fast. We'll keep praying for you.
Success: Got in with daughters puter. now i know how a whitetail feels after getting hit with double "O"s This is day 4 after surgery. Some trouble sleeping as most of pain is on right side where i sleep. Four holes from robotic surgery and i guess they glue them shut. They took the appendix out also. I am a little afraid of Tramadol so taking two extra strength tylenol and one ibuprofen like they told me.
Willie Jr is doing great but a little confused. He misses the pee pan about half the time. Starting to cock his leg like a adult dog. Guess i need to get him fixed?
Really cold up here in the North Country (Delaware county) and snows a little every day. My daughter ready to start digging fence post holes in Kents Store, Va. for the two horses. She is so tired of the cold and NY politics.
Starting to hurt so will lurk for a while. Prayers for all those in Ca. fire areas. Will catch you folks later.—Ray
Just take your time and heal Ray!
What Ruger said, Ray.
Tramadol is very safe Ray … it's the only thing I'll take after surgery. Just use it at night because the side effect is being drowsy.

Ray.........
Tramadol is a powerful drug.......but very useful if used correctly.
Every 3 to 6 months…...I experience moderate to severe phantom pains, which the Tramadol can knock down in 3 to 4 hours. Otherwise……an episode can last from 18 to 36 hours.…or a TENS unit is utilized. During this time......NO sleeping can occur.
It's good stuff...…..just stay home, and try to relax.
Hope this helps.
Lady Rae, thank you. Will try tonight if i keep waking up with pain on right side.————Ray
White out,snow squall for one half hour. Yuck, wished I was pain free and in Kents Store, Virginia.———-Ray
Tried the Tramadol 50mg last night but did not really see a improvement. Keep waking up with paln. I can tolerate it but really cutting in to my sleep time. Catching up during the day somewhat. Mostly throbbing across my abdomen where they poked the 4 holes. No pain down below where hernia was popping out and appendix was removed as i understand it. I get the most relief during the day with large thin ice pack on my tummy——Ray
