I hadn't posted anything up till now concerning my own health status because it seems so minor compared to issues shared in here, but since I'm now resting up, medicated and having to stay out of the shop (And driving) this week, I have plenty of time to share my status with my turning friends.
I've been using my vacations this year to get caught up on Heath matters since I haven't been to a doc in a few years now. I been generally heathy and just didn't bother to go. So August vacation: I go in for my first physical since 2008. Get scheduled for a colonoscopy on my next vacation in September (checkup following polyp removal 5 years ago). Talked with doc at that point about a soft spot in the lower abdomen, so got diagnosed with hernia there and a reoccurrence of an umbilical hernia. This week is my next vacation and I had the double hernia repair done, getting some variation of screen mesh place in both locations.
I'm not in much pain yet, but doc says I'm going to feel like I was kicked by a mule in the morning. Not sure I'm looking forward to that! We'll see what tomorrow brings. At least after this, I should be all patched up for a while!
