Jim had his hernia surgery yesterday (Monday Aug. 31) and things really went well, and more quickly than we anticipated. We walked in at 11:30, he got in quickly for prep, 30-minute surgery, an hour of recovery, and we were on our way home by 2:30! The pain med has kept discomfort to a minimum and a day later he is doing well, mostly following the doctor’s orders except for the 24-hour clear liquid diet. He managed that for about 3 hours and then decided to move on since he was starving. But the 11pm turkey sandwich didn’t seem to cause any ill effects. He was encouraged to get up and move around which he has been doing without any problem. He will have a follow up doctor visit in a few days. Thanks for the prayers – we have been very pleased with how things are going and very thankful for this provision.
Sorry, no photos for this event.

They say laughter is the best medicine -- except maybe when you're recovering from abdominal surgery. Jim probably should have rethought his post-op viewing choices.
