Another Day, Another Hernia Surgery XPost

Not quite really but I am having a repeat performance of my original hernia surgery from last April. It is an incisional hernia and I redid it by picking up my boyfriend's 30 lb, 7 month old grand daughter. I guess I am going to have to watch the lifting from now on.
The last surgery was as easy as pie. I stayed overnight but I really could have gone home the same day. I felt fine as soon as I woke up. The only reason I was kept overnight was because I had an epidural, which came out anyway so I told them I didn't want one this time so hopefully I should be able to go home the same day.
I always get in a lot of protein. I average about 150 grams a day. With the last surgery I was starting to heal by the time I woke up from recovery. The incision was already starting to scab. It was totally healed in days, I'm not kidding. I hope things are as good this time.
Anyway, I would appreciate any good thoughts or prayers. No matter how routine it may seem surgery is serious business and not to be taken lightly. I hate to sound morbid but there is always a fear that things could go wrong and I won't wake up or I could suffer a serious complication.

I wish you well, I also have an incisional hernia but so far I am living with it. I am getting scared becaue it seems that everyday that I feel it, it seems to be getting bigger. I can put my hand on it like a little cup. It sticks out now and is very painful - I walk around with my jeans open, not fun, especially since I have gained back alot of my lost weight, they aren't so baggy anymore.
