    Get well quick Dennis!

    By any chance, did you tell the surgeon to do the Surgery while sitting on a milk crate??? ;)

    You will get there it's just going to take time,hopefully your pain disappears. As always please, please and another please do speak up if you want or need anything at all.
    We all here can team up and make anything happen.
    Give our best to the lovely Judy as I'm sure it's tough for her to see her love O life struggling with this.

    I rarely venture into this part of the forum so late on the well wishes for a speedy recovery.
    Has your pain level been gradually lessening as the days pass?

    Actually the pain level after the first day of surgery has not been bad; that is compared with other surgeries I've had. There is still some pain but don't have to continually take medicine. To be honest the worst part is the discomfort from the brace, especially when trying to lay or sleep. Sometimes get pretty sore under brace.

    The amazing thing is it does not hurt like it did when driving down rough roads and I like that. Now if I could get on the tractor...

    Glad the pain is down. I cant imagine having to wear something like that. How soon does it come off?

    But not soon enough
    :doh:

    I need the same surgery.. and a groin hernia, but I've been putting it all off as I can't afford the downtime
    :zip:

    Told Chazsbetterhalf that if I have to have one done.. then it's a two-fer, no sense being put down twice.

    Actually I should have stated 8-12 weeks but 2 weeks have already passed. It can be aggravating for sure.
