Nic's Surgery...

 Yesterday Nic had another hernia surgery.  This is his 4th hernia surgery that he has had in the near 3 decades he's been alive.  The doctor said that he has had every kind of hernia that he can have and is hopeful this will be the last one.  Out of the 4 that he has had this one has been the worst.  His recovery time was doubled in the hospital.  They said he would be in recovery for about 45 minutes well after that time passed they called me back to ask me questions.  They asked if he stops breathing at home. Umm.... NO! His monitor kept beeping and the lady would raise her voice and say, "You need to breathe" This happened several times.  Scared me to death.  Nic had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia.  But after 2 1/2 hours he was finally able to breathe, wake up and get up and go to the bathroom so we could be on our way.  I have never seen this man cry do to pain, so when he started to cry today I knew he was in a tremendous amount of pain.  Here's to hoping all the medicine helps him.  And also that he can recover quickly.  Trying to pick up 230 lbs. of dead weight is tough!
