CoastalWx Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I had umbilical hernia surgery in Nov 2020. It was bulging and started to hurt. Surgery went well and I felt like myself after about 2 months. First 6 weeks you can't lift more than like 10lbs. I didn't get back to heavier weights for maybe 3 months iirc. Had my surgery at MGH...doctor was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First two years didn't really bother me, but the last year was getting to be more and more noticeable. They basically put a mesh over it and that is supposedly good for life.

dendrite Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I had one starting. It would heal a bit and then I'd reaggravate it. I did that about 20x. Eventually I went long enough without overdoing it because it hasn't bothered me in 5+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve read that if it’s not bad, it can heal some, or at least not get worse. I have a colonoscopy scheduled for November partially do to this pain, but I’m starting to think it really has not much to do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a hernia and at the same time extreme back pain, nothing I tried relieved it. Once I had the hernia surgery my back pain disappeared. The doctor didn't think the hernia had anything to do with the back pain but I disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not to get to TMI, but when using the restroom when I go to clean up, and hit a certain spot, it sends a shooting pain right up to that spot. It’s weird, but I swear there is a nerve connection or something that is sending pain right to that spot. I’m going to the doctor next week, so we’ll see. It’s very strange.

Sled Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Pig I raised a few years back had a big old hernia. Flopped around for months I was always afraid it would pop it on something. Took that one early for a pig roast. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Rock Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I had two inguinal hernias fixed. One in 2017, then the other side popped up on 2019. Got one fixed with lapro, then went "open" mesh for the other side. Recovery was a little longer for the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get a close up but every time I zoomed in the camera wouldn't focus. I suppose I could have gone closer to the spider but I was afraid it would have jumped on me. My girlfriend killed it though. I sprayed it from afar and when it fell I ran and she got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Digging out the pond by our well. It was originally dug as a stock pond according to a long-time resident of the town, possibly re-dug for fire suppression by the folks who built the house we live in back in 1975. Pine branches, leaf litter and other muck had decreased its depth from 4-5 feet to 2 feet or less, while supporting an amazing algae crop. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did have a short swim there a couple years ago, but only because the algae layer was so uniform, she thought it was dry land. Our late lamented black Lab was in there all the time. When she would get all muddied up in the woods, I'd toss a stick into the pond to get her washed. Sometimes took 2 or 3. Given that the pond is all spring fed, its temp now that it's been deepened probably will stay uncomfortably cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have what I suspect is a hernia on the right side of my belly button. There is no obvious bulge, but certain movements really irritate it, while others not so much. I had a hernia repair in May...started to feel it last December...it was a very small one on the left side of my groin. It didn't show up in any imagery...surgeon was finally able to feel it. I took two weeks off from lifting weights...not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I know a lot of you guys have visited VT for skiing at places like Stowe or Killington, spent romantic weekends in hoity toity places like Woodstock or spent time on the shores of Lake Champlain sipping craft brews. You’ve never really experienced the real Vermont though unless you’ve gone to the Tunbridge World’s Fair. Held in one of the most picturesque valleys in the state, it still has strong agricultural ties. It’s the last fair of the season in VT and this year it’s celebrating its 150th anniversary. It’s a place where you see a real cross section of the state. Woodchuck farmers who come off the hill once a year, organic hippies, Dartmouth professors and anything in between. It was a beautiful night for Italian sausage and kettle corn and the place was packed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
