I hope your feeling better and moving forward. My wife had the same surgery. A later revision to put her back to normal. Then a Hernia repair from the first surgery. Then the Mesh they used to do the repair, was recalled two weeks later.
I spent a week in the hospital with pneumonia and a traumatic rib injury. In Jan. ( Morphine ROCKS ) Being a Paramedic it was hard to be on the other side of treatment. It gets to the point that you look forward to meals. I was on a salt restriction diet. You would not believe the stuff you can't eat!
