Anthony

Anthony underwent surgery today to fix a hernia. He noticed it about 3 weeks ago, and a few trips to doctors and specialists confirmed our suspicions. Thankfully EIRMC was able to schedule him in extremely quickly. The surgeon was worried about the hernia getting worse before it could get fixed, and Anthony was put on a strict no lifting, squatting, exercising regimen. Back to today, we arrived at the hospital ridiculously early and were whisked up to surgery. Anthony was taken into pre-op around 9:30, and went into the O.R. at 10. Everything went well, except for the fact that the hernia was much larger than the surgeon thought. So now Anthony has a four inch incision rather than 5 teeny tiny cuts. Can't get the boy to stop talking about the scar he'll have. He's extremely sore (which is to be expected), but should be back to normal in about two weeks. Feel free to stop by and keep him company during the day!
