My surgery yesterday went fine. The doc had to do a bit more repair than was expected. The tear in the inguinal canal was much larger than showed on the CT scan so he had to use some extra mesh on both the inside and outside edges of it. Found out the mesh is gold colored, so now part of my insides have half the Packer colors. He used a green marker pen to mark where the incision was going so I'm truly and "green and gold" guy.

The recovery room was funny.....if only I'd been 100% awake and coherent I could have really had a good time. From my best and fuzzy memory:

"Bob, wake up."

"Do I have to?'

"Yes...we need this bed for another patient. You're breathing, the bleeding has sort of stopped, and your snoring is waking up the patients on the 6th floor. (we're on the second)

"Just a few more minutes of sleep. I was having a good dream. The Packers were on their way to the Super Bowl. And Brett Favre was back with the Packers.....I just saw him walk through here and he said Hi to me and to take it easy. Had his old #4 Packer jersey on."

"That wasn't Brett you numbskull. First of all you don't dream under anethesia and the person you saw was Lisa, your surgeons nurse. She is a Packer nut and had her old Favre jersey on under her scrubs. She was getting a clean scrub outfit after you kind of had an accident on her when they put you out."

"Jeez, I told them I had to go REAL bad just before they wheeled me to surgery. Doesn't anyone take me seriously around here?"

Nurse exits laughing uncontrollably....

Way to "GO" Bob!!!
I LOVE reading your "stories!" You seriously should write a book about your life stories. It would be GREAT reading! Even people that don't know you would get a kick out of them! I'm SERIOUS! You have a way of painting a verbal picture that is rare. I would buy your book if you wrote one!
Think about it.......what you went through would be kind of boring if it was just written down as is. Yet you make it all VERY interesting and FUNNY! Like i said......not many people can do that!
Heck....maybe we could write a book together! Imagine what stories we could tell???
But most important....I'm glad you are ok and recovering well! :thumbright:

Yeh, right Vego. I wish. The only sponge bath they'd have given me would probably be one with frozen sponges....just to mess around with me.

Last night was miserable. I couldn't get out of bed without major pain, but finally went to the couch in the living room and managed to get some sleep. Then this morning I went back to the bed, took some pain pills and slept until just a few minutes ago. Gotta watch the Griz-Idaho State game at 3:30. Jared Allen is being inducted into ISU's hall of fame at half time....if he isn't arrested before that. He has several outstanding warrants and DUI crap on his record. Real down to earth guy.
