    Bruce,

    Good luck on your surgery. Let us know how it goes. I suspect that someday I may need that as well. The surgeon said never to lift more than 10-15 pounds but I found that difficult to do and to enjoy my life.

    Hey, Bruce, my MIL just had a hernia repair loast week and she wished she could have done it sooner. She is feeling as lot of relief and I pray the same for you! Her hernia was a result of her quadruple bypass surgery she had the same week I had my colon resection. But she is eoing much better now! I['ll be praying Wednesday!
