Dave Update: Small Surgery

Dave Schwartz

For those who may have an interest, I will be having a small surgery tomorrow.

The surgery is to repair a hiatal hernia.
It is laparoscopic and will, hopefully be routine.

I have been warned that the surgery is a little trickier than the regular version (usually about 20-30 minutes) because the hernia is 35 years old. Apparently the stomach adheres itself to the esophagus over time.

Hopefully, I will only be missing for a few days. :)

Once, as I was seeing someone off at the airport, I wished them a LONG FLIGHT. The person asked me why I would wish them that. My response was to have them consider the alternative for a moment.

Best wishes, Dave. I had a constricted esophagus. Not the same thing, but I think I know how much better your life will likely be after your surgery.

Steven

Good luck. We know this is not going to slow you down.

Conley

Praying for a speedy recovery Dave!

Take it easy :)

Dave Schwartz

Thanks guys.
I’m waiting for the surgery now.

Of course they pushed it back 2 hours.

I survived!
Will go home this afternoon.

So, after that I'm one my own?

It's a cold world. LOL

(And you know I am teasing you.)

Update: Still whining a bit, but looks like I will pull through.

And I no longer wake up with Beth holding a pillow over my head.
