Hernias. (They're apparently really common.)

[BigClive]

Well I never thought I'd end up with a hernia! It turns out that it's really common.

On a plus note the surgery was easy in the sense that when they give you the anaesthetic you literally go out like a light and don't remember anything at all between going out and being woken back up again. In my case it was classed as day-surgery and I was home the same day.

The ward I was put in was ALL men having hernia ops.

Anyone else had one? And what was your recovery like?

I've had lots of warnings not to lift heavy stuff for a while even when I think it's all healed up.
