All Systems....

are go!!!

Saw the doc today for the post surgical exam. I didn't have much to report, seems like things are healing pretty well, pretty quick. Doc said the surgery was routine, did a quick exam, removed the tape and said I was done.

Here's what I learned:

• Reinforcing mesh is a polypropelene material


• Surgical staples are titanium corkscrews, about 1/8" long. I have 8.


• I had hernias on both sides and both were repaired


• Bellybuttons get glued by accident, "it's not a cult thing"

I asked specifically if I could ride my bike because at one point he said wait two weeks. Doc S responds

You can ride your bike but I wouldn't do anything CRAZY and climb Mt. Tam for your first ride.

I smiled and said 'Great, thanks doc'.

If he only knew.

Looks like the off season is about to end.
