Double Hernias

Sep 18, 2010

Well, the saga continues.  I had two incision hernias repaired last month and while the doc was there he revised by foot- long incision (which had been created for the 2nd surgery, reopened for the 3rd) and was looking like Hiroshima after the bomb! 

I'm on the mend now and hope this will be the end of my surgeries.  Thank God I lost a lot of weight because these complications have been murder!

Leak

Jun 12, 2010

Well, I had a leak and have had a very hard 3 months getting it diagnosed and treated.  Almost an entire month in the hospital.  Maybe it was the surgeon's error or maybe just chance, but it was a brutal crisis I wouldn't wish on anyone...

Off we go!

Mar 31, 2010

Well...here I am!   First post at my official OH blog site.  Had sleeve surgery with Dr. Almanza Reyes last week.  Flew back to Portland yesterday, worked (home office) off and on for 3 hours.   Worked 7 hard hours today.  Physically going to a short meeting tomorrow (client's office) then back to my home office.  Resting when I know I should, but it's OK.

There were a couple hick-ups in Tijuana, but most were more the difference in Mexico and USA lifestyles; cheap-ish bed, someone was 20 minutes late for me (which in TJ is early).  I'd recommend Dr. A to anyone.

I have so much to say, but probably should read more about YOUR experiences first!

Please, wish me luck, and I send my best wishes to all of you.

Phil
