This isn't really relevant to the forum so apologies in advance.

I've been diagnosed with a hernia and am going in for a surgical repair week after next. It is day surgery and I will be home that night. I suppose that in the great scheme of operations, mine is pretty minor. That said, in my 55 years, I've never so much as spent a night in a hospital. I've been blessed with superb health.

I've had a few wounds sutured up and had my wisdom teeth removed but never been "under the knife" as it were. Recovery is about a week of at home bed rest. Sitting around the house, doped up on pain pills and watching old John Wayne movies sounds pretty cool but nevertheless I'm nervous. If I could may, could I solicit prayers and good wishes from my forum family? You guys mean so much to me.

Sorry to be such a baby.

Warmest regards,

rangerboy.
