Re: Venting Thread
I need inguinal hernia surgery. I had it on my right side in the mid 90s, so I know the signs. Left side this time. Oh joy. Time to find a vascular surgeon.

Re: Venting Thread
I had it done (both sides) maybe 8 years ago. They did it laparoscopicly... not too long of a recovery... frozen peas are your friend!dovecanyoncat wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2024 10:48 am I need inguinal hernia surgery.

Re: Venting Thread
That might turn out to be an option this time. My previous surgeon said "the best way to repair hernia is the old fashioned way" (non-laparoscopically), meaning less failures and less re-dos. Since then I've talked to numerous guys who've had failures and re-dos who wished they'd have gone to the longer, more painful procedure/recovery. But the fact that the younger you are the worse the recovery is, and now that I'm looking at 67 this year rather than 35, I have some questions to ask.Alieberman wrote: ↑Mon Jun 03, 2024 11:40 amI had it done (both sides) maybe 8 years ago.

Re: Venting Thread
I had a double hernia when I was 10. If you look close you can still see the scars.

That must have been a boatload of fun for a 10 year old.
I'll just take your word for it.

Re: Venting Thread
The only thing I remember of the whole thing is waking up in the recovery room and the doctor asking if I wanted to be wheeled back to my room or if I wanted to walk. I tried to walk but couldn't. Fucking military doctors (Davis Monthan).

Re: Venting Thread
My lifelong buddy from childhood has esophageal cancer which is stage 4 and also in one of his optic nerves. He's undergoing chemo and radiation.
Just found out that one of my best buds from my 20s died a few days ago.
My dog barely made it through it through the night. She's 15 and has heart issues. Today might be the day to stop her suffering.
Trying to prepare for a trip to Utah in about 9 days and my buddy, who has been planning this trip with us for months,texts me that he may not be going because he's having trouble finding a boarder for his wife's 3 dogs.
These fucking idiot Trumpies seem near ready to assault me and others and their idiotic social media posts are just traitorous-even though they don't know it. Making me nauseous.
Fuck. Venting indeed.

The outdoors is just what you need my man. Sometimes ya just gotta get outside and listen to the distance. I wish you peace.

Re: Venting Thread
So sorry to hear that… but Dove is 100% right
I just got back from 4 days in Puerto Peñasco… doing nothing but staring at the waves and drinking beers… it was exactly what I needed to get rid of my stress

I'd kill for this. I haven't had anything approaching a real vacation in over 3 years. Not even one night alone with the wife since before we had kids.Alieberman wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2024 11:07 am So sorry to hear that… but Dove is 100% right

Dude... you need to make this happen ASAP. Taking time away from kids was not only necessary for the sake of my marriage but the time away always made me a better parent.scumdevils86 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2024 7:43 pmI'd kill for this.

Re: Venting Thread
Yea I'm afraid that isn't on the horizon for us either. She's 32 weeks with our 2nd and we've exclusively co-slept with the first. That won't change with the 2nd either. Our first is incredibly kind and smart but also very sensitive. She's never slept with anyone but the two of us. My wife and I have had some days here and there where we were able to travel or do things with friends overnight but never together due to the sleep situation. We technically haven't ever spent more than 3 hours alone together in 3 years.Alieberman wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2024 6:52 amDude... you need to make this happen ASAP.

Our almost 3 year old will spend the nights we're at the hospital with our one family friend we trust with her. I'm hoping that once our newborn is a bit older we will have set that groundwork to take even an overnight staycation together (wife and I that is). It's a lot for sure.
