I went to see the surgeon today. Turns out he didn't insert the mesh as he had originally planned. The hole was smaller than expected, repaired with five internal stitches.He removed the nine staples from the incision he made a week ago. It was cool to watch...and painless.
The staple remover was a neat little tool. So I'm not allowed to lift anything over 20 pounds for the next five weeks. No kayaking.
No straining of any sort or we may have to do this all over again.
No raking or mowing because of the pushing and/or pulling motion. The timing stinks with leaves falling and yard work waiting.
I hate not being able to go 100%. But it was really cool watching the doc take the staples out of my belly.
