Well, I have a hernia

[Madd Hatter]

Well, nurse ratchet#1 is pretty much responsible for me being so tore up. Night before the surgery we're out moving 27 bails of wet straw down to the burn pits. We cut down 8 trees the day before that because she's paranoid about fire. The trees were dead.

How large? Cutting back or cutting out? What an enormous amount of work right? Even when we use the tractor you still have to cut it down with the chainsaw, and the roots, and we hand load our trailer (the floor made from 2x12"s so if you dropped heavy stumps in it wouldnt be long before it busts through). All this to say, man 8! That is a lot.

The trees aren't as large as they are back east. Juniper trees are a very slow growing tree. We didn't remove the stumps just cut very close to ground level. It was still a lot of work but not like it would back east.

🥳🥳🥳🥳 I got the okay from my Doctor today that I can go back to my normal unhealthy diet!!!! I told him I only took 4 and a half pain pills total and my last one was on Wednesday evening when I took a half a pill. I've gotten so sick of oatmeal 😡 and I like oatmeal.😎
Heck, the first 2 days it was only clear liguids. Jello and broths don't satisfy a hunger. I was suppose to be eating soft food for the 2 weeks after surgery but because I wasn't taking the Oxycodone or anything else I got to cut a week out of that.

Just remember that you are not 25 anymore and superman needs to go slow with the heavy lifting for a few months

[Madd Hatter]

My Doctor said pretty much the same thing. I know I can't lift more than 15 pounds for 6 weeks after surgery. It's frustrating because my wife who has had 3 back surgerys is having to do all of the lifting and she's really hurting from it.

Trust me I understand up until I was exactly 60 I wrestled with 800lb cast iron domestic boilers as part of my HVAC work then I herniated 2 discs in my lower back I know I am no longer superman also 15 years older. As we age all the stupid comes back to haunt us
