Alright guys and gals headed to the hospital for my hiatal hernia surgery (Nissen Fundoplication). I am dying already. Can't have my morning coffee. The surgery will be four hours long. Wish me well.

Of course, I wish you well.
Holy crap! Do you mean to say that my inside guts look like that thing in Alien? OMG, does it have teeth dripping with goo?

I was thinking Grateful Dead album cover I'd never seen before

Lookie here, he doesn't have low blood pressure, he needs a good belly laugh to get that hernia healing. I'll bet it's good for the stitches.

That'll happen over my dead body.
 
Surgery went well. Got it just in time. The Dr said my esophagus was so damaged it was at the beginning stages of throat cancer. Feeling like shit. But I am alive. Got me as comfortable as they can in a private room.

Bout to have some broth. No solid foods for two weeks. Yay

Noooooooooooo

Shit think I popped a stitch
 
absolutely, spoken like a man who's taken advantage while the hospital!
Are you kidding?
1. I get very little relief from morphine and now I am medically prohibited from taking it along with a dozen other pain relievers;
2. My wife would pack her bags and head out the door faster than you can say lickety-split if I ever did anything with another woman. Now, I live for my wife so I'd never do anything to give her cause to pack her bags. Besides, she's still the most beautiful woman in the world to me and I have zero prurient interest in any other women.
Okay, I know you're kidding but I threw that out there for the benefit of others who might not know me very well.
In the meantime, I'll keep my pain killer to the bourbon Sly smuggles into the hospital for me. I'll keep my fanny pats reserved for only the best looking nurses. One point that needs to be made, with the looks of most of the VA nurses there'll be very little fanny patting. Besides, I think most of them could beat me in an arm wrestle or any other kind of wrestling.

Private room, you say? Tell them to put you back in the general population like the rest of us. I always get someone who just had their hip replaced and then moaned, whined and cried all night, or a guy who had a heart attack in the bed next to me, or someone who snores loudly, or some dickhead who insists on playing their TV too loud all night long or someone making a highly personal phone call so loud that I can't avoid hearing it or somebody that bitches all the time about the food, about the doctors, about the pharmacy, about the nurses, etc. etc. etc. Treasure your private room like the treasure that it is.
 
As someone who has had a surgery or 2 in the past, REST. Don't fucking push yourself afterwards.
water work outs and yoga...tai chi....and power walking ...worst thing you can do is atrophy from lying around...of course that depends upon the surgery

Where's my bourbon Sly?

Oh I am

Yeah, definitely got that on the mind. About to go for a walk in the hall. I will be doing things to keep my body going as I begin to heal. A two week liquid diet is going to drop me a few pounds.

Not going to push myself. Will meet with the nutrisionist and figure out safe non rigourous exercises. For now though a brief walk and rest.

You are right, atrophy from laying on you're bum is best to avoid. Broke my right arm once, spiraled the humerus off! Looked like an elbow you don't need! I looked at that and dumb shit was all that came to mind.
Took a long time to heal that bone and atrophy of the arm and shoulder really set in. Not a damn thing could be done about it though, you just have to wait for that bone to stiffen up again before you can do zip about it.

Not trying to hijack the tread, just trying to say to CC, if sippin soup is all you can do, then sip the fucking soup!
