Got a small surgery tomorrow - umbilical hernia

Had some work on my limbs before, but never on the torso. I am having some concerns but think all will be OK.
My dad nearly died of a umbilical hernia when it strangulated his blood system. Thus I wanted to get it fixed as soon as I could afford it.

So now it is time to go to bed as I have an early rise tomorrow. With any luck I will be back here in the next couple of days.

I know there will be good wishes and I thank you in advance. Take care all

Along with a redo of an earlier inguinal. Left the house around 7am, back by 10:30 am.

All the best.

Not to be flippant, but it's a piece of cake. I was first in the morning and went home before noon. Just be careful of what you do for a few weeks.

I have one too, but even with "good" insurance, they won't cover surgery unless it becomes acute.

Or the pain meds are doing a great masking job.

Somewhat of a surprise is that without my daily BP the BP wasn't too high. There is hope yet.

but that is about all for today - watched many recorded TV shows today
