I'm back finally, It was rather rough. The surgery went without a hitch but talk about the pain later! For the first three days i was almost bet ridden, they had to put two of those meshes in me to repair the hernia and that added to the recovery time from the initial operation from a week and a half to two weeks and two months to achieve full recovery and activity. I'm back at work (yesterday was my first day back) but can't do much outside of assembling things i'm really wearing out my 3/8 impact now since I can't pull on wenches, I also can't swing hammers which is making it rather interesting doing things around the shop (mechanics gotta have his hammer!) so it's going to be hard sighs. The good news is though is that it's done and I don't have to worry about it, I'm still a little sore but I'm loads better than I was before the surgery so it was worth it. I'm going to be real tight cash wise for a while so everything not necessary has been put on hold until i can recover. Anyway you all have a good one take care! (Axle out)
