Laproscopically? Does that mean they go in through the back door? Does this mean you'll be gay after the surgery?

Hey, someone has to ask the tough questions. Your wife or g/f doesn't have a 9 iron, do they?

Hope all goes well and take a laptop and WiFi card with you for that week stuck in bed in the hospital.

After all, they know you are a lawyer and have a .45 auto (and know how to use it) so they will do a good job!

Get back to us when you wake up.

Best of luck Kurt. Take the meds, drink water, and change bandages. Plenty of time to read the Frank Herbert or Tolkien series again.

Good thoughts heading to you. Don't rush the recovery...milk it for all it's worth.

You'll do fine. Pharmaceutical-grade pain killers make everything happy.

Get well soon.

Kurt - just remember the basic rule of abdominal surgery: No Guts, No Glory.

All the best and get back soon!
