Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Well I wasn't able to meet with Heidi for luch as my sons school called and said he had Pink Eye and I needed to pick him up immediately and take him to the doctor and get eye drops. So I did all that, and took HIM to lunch. We had a nice time and actually talked, which is no small task with a 15 year old boy. The surgeon called me this afternoon and said that he does not think the mesh and lap will work with my hernia. He said he will need to do it as an open procedure using a muscle flap and an alloderm graft. That is the cadaverous tissue. He is also going to bring in a plastic surgeon for the grafting. I have a bad history with mesh and the rip is just too large to just stich up. It sticks way out of my belly about the size of my fist. So my littler hernia repair has turned into a large operation with a longer hospital stay. Any way, Angie, it will take acouple of days before you really feel any affect of the inj. Glad you had a good b-day. Warmly, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
