Okay, my Surgery is tentatively booked for next July, 2007. smile

I asked for next year, due to work (extremely high commissions for the next 7 or 8 months) and my Surgeon said that was fine, asking me which month was best. I will have the traditional procedure that sews together the two layers of muscle around the perforation, with only a 5% chance of re-occurrence....

Glad to hear the good news, I suspected considering how long it was taking to get the surgery that it couldnt be that serious, but wasnt sure as my dad had a hernia surgery ( 20 years ago) that seemed to happen in an instant...but that is time when reflecting upon events in your youth.....
At any rate I am flattered I have received such virulent hate posts on my journal no less and that he has seemingly been kicked off with extreme swiftness to answer makes me a little sad, perhaps I will find another of his post's to me in the forums somewhere and reply to it so that he shall donate to this site some more money to make another user name to fling absurd epithets coming from some one in the United Kingdom no less who has most likely never experienced a stalinist government, heck even the Ethiopians I work with who lived under a stalinist government put in through a military coup highhlight that they concentrated power in their own hands and walla are now leading capitalist's afflicting most post deformed worker's states....I mean common its ethiopia the land of the 1st televised starvation for a civil war nation!

Took a full week to get over that flu/cold that is going around, which sucked! I hate feeling weak, or sick... frown

Off tonight to a Poker "Home Game", I expect to do well against avwerage players. Playing for hours to take someone's Lunch Money is much different than playing at the Head Table at my favorite Casino.

Poker is as Poker does! smile

Dammit! I'm Sick! frown

No, not the Hernia, good old-fashioned Sickness. My ear aches for the first time in about 30 years, I have a sore throat, a fever, and a general all round feeling of fatique...

Ironicaly it started yesterday at the South Store, where I was working to fill in for someone else who was sick. The problem is that I never get sick,...

Well hope this nasty wet and cold whether doesnt rekindle this sickness, it would be a bummer to get healthy for the weekend only to go back to work sick again!

totally! But the pants were even more seventies, they were super high waisted, and very wide at the bottom, but it was hidden by the corset and that shot in particular.
It was awesome

Paris Hilton Arrested for Drunk Driving (after SG Charity Event?)

A police statement reads, "The officers observed that Hilton exhibited the symptoms of intoxication. A field sobriety test was conducted at the scene, and the officers determined she was driving under the influence." Hilton was on her way home from a (SG) charity event when the arrest took place. ...

Welcome to Toronto.
Where one bedroom places for 1500 in basements in bad neighbourhoods are a common occurence.

Bachelors under a grand are super sketch.

In Calgary I was living in a BEAUTIFUL two bedroom with huge kitchen, an even bigger living room and a bathroom that had just been renovated with great tile. It was 900 all inclusive. frown

Toronto pretty much sucks. I keep saying it, but no one believes me.

Hey, hey!

I am waiting for a Surgeon to call me to set up an appointment for my Inguinal Hernia Operation. I should get the call in the next 2 weeks. From there, a consultation should lead to a date for the (hopefully) minimally invasive day surgery. That style of Hernia operation is local anesthetic only, two small incisions about an inch wide each with...

Yep, I have an Inguinal Hernia. I am very lucky that I have no major pain or mobility problems so far.

I am booked for an Ultrasound and matching Blood Work this Wednesday, then I get the results back, and probably book Surgery on the 4th. (Not the fourth after all, see below...)

I miss the Gym already, and the good results that it brings!...

Working out is more "fun" than I expected! The Lactic Acid soreness barely hits me anymore, even though I am working each bodypart using two different exercises, each with two sets to failure. Even better, I am already seeing results all over, and my poundage increases almost every time in the Gym.

For my age (see above) I am pretty proud that I can work...

I cant eat Tuna or Salmon; I literally have Fishy Burps for two days! puke

I do not work out as the job I have is already physically demanding as it is, though their are crazy people at my work who do go to the gym and then come to work..... Though I would probably never join a gym even if my job was not very physically demanding, I would figure out a way to get better excersize.
I dont think I am going to go to the stampede this year, not unless someones gonne ask me to go (which looks highly unlikely) as I had to work as a janitor year round for almost 3 years at that place and I do not have very fond memories of the stampede as it was the worst time of year for that type of work...........

Day Two at the Gym later on tonight. Today is the third day since I went the first time, and every morning since, different body parts have HURT and reduced their mobility. I guess nothing good comes easy...

If the first workout is any indication, I should have picked a Gym where more women go to work out. frown

happy Bday I hope you are living it up and not bed ridden from trying to impress a cutie on a treadmill wink
