What side was it on? Left or Right?

I am not trying to make you nervious just cascious, because this has realy screwed me up. I went from pushing pallets of 1500 to 3000 pounds, and 500 pound drums, to not being able to lift over 30 pounds and pushing or pulling more than 60. Not that I am not able, but the pain wont let me...
Now you must realize I am in a 5%, "Go figure" Most people Normal People have no problems after hernia surgery.

Just remmember, DONT PISS OFF THE SURGEON :lol: :lol:
Or the Anastesiologist :lol: :lol:

TRUST ME!!

My first surgery was Nothing but Women, and I told them "THis is not right" Now look where I am, I swear they used a chisle on my pubic bone.
The second, I told the Anastesiologist that I like the other one better, He didn't think it was funny, so I ended up with a sore throat and pissing fire, form the cathader. ops:

So dont Piss them off.

:lol:

MY dad had 3 back surgeries and I know a lil about the Workman's comp thing.

First off, get a lawyer. Do you like being on the backburner? If not, then get a lawyer. Workman's comp will cooperate and settle quicker, a LOT quicker.

Second, you shouldn't have to pay a dime. If I remember correctly, you're a company driver? The only reason you were picking up a piece of freight was because you were on the clock. The employer is liable.

Best of luck on the surgery. With such a common surgery you'll be fine....but NO drugs?? :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: 8) 8)

Hey Ardmore, if they are trying to sell you on the cathider, ask them to put in in during surgery. It only hurts going in (holy crap! :shock: ), but coming out it dosn't hurt at all. Seriously, cause if you get up after surgery and can't pee, they'll be jamin' that thing in pretty quick. I used to work in a hospital as a Nursing Assistant, and used to have to assist in putting them in (no thanks!). But people that had them put in after getting knocked out for surgery were much much happier with that choice. Good luck and get well soon!

When I was huge into bmx I crashed on a 26 foot double in the woods and ripped my nutsack and saw my nuts. I didn't get a catheder :lol: Same when I had my broken arm operated 3 separate surgeries (yes, bmx related) 8)

On the insurance issue...
When my wife had cancer, she went through the surgery with Blue Cross, and had a $3,000 annual cap. That was in Nov. of 01. For New Years, they switched to Humana with straight 80% coverage, and we're still paying for the radiation and chemo. Doesn't sound like your coverage is any better.

I hate insurance companies. They continually want more money, and MORE MONEY, but when it comes to paying, they have several "BANKS" of attorneys to tell then how they can get out of paying the claim. Good luck to you.

I don't know about family. I pay $378 per month and I would bet family would be over $500. I don't have any caps on what can be spent in one year. The only bill I ever got was for like $178 when I had surgery on both knees at a cost of over $12,000 and I wanted a private room.
