Too funny… Mine was very much the same way, no nonsense, old school catholic… After he was in the home, he would refuse showers bc he would not let a nurse see him naked… THAT conservative.
But as the dementia worsened, he’d say some stuff every now and then completely out of character… One time he said “you know what, I’ve never had a BJ in my life” and I didn’t know what to say! On one hand, I was sad for him, but on the other I was like, good for you grandma 
Well, I had to get three surgeries at once
Both side and seems I had a bellybutton hernia as well
Hurts right noe
But you woke up! Now it’s just time to heal up!
Amen..
My doctor is legit! As they were prepping my stomach he simply looked att belly button and was like … um I think you have a hernorhere…
Sure enough….
It hurts but prayers that it heals well and all felony to God
Best part was when he asked to pray over me!! Cool doctor
See if one of the nurses will help you get a boner. Its important after surgwry to poop and get a boner before you go home.
But for the Love of God don’t do both at the same time.
Get out of my brain… I was gonna ask if you can do them at the same time just before you posted
Haha smart fellas we clearly are.
The only guy I know who could pull off both at the same is @Bols
That motorcycle ain’t gonna ride itself. Buy what they’re selling and jump back in when the doings done.
Prayers you get bro, 
, hope everything goes well and a speedy recovery. Take easy let it heal good.
And let know how one of Bols Granny’s do for you. I might need one one day too
Hope your doing better now and healing-not feeling too much pain.
This doctor let me go home as soon as I was able handle the pain and dress
he made it abundantly clear though, that if I could be I the next several hours I had go back to the ER for a catheter and actually said nothing about constipation
But I just started taking a light pill laxative…
But I trying to think how to safely drop a poop with three points of stitch’s in the lower abdomen
Yeah, pushing real hard will not be your friend.
Wishing you a speedy recovery man. By chance was the hernia stuff related to the issues you had awhile back after your long bike ride?
Also on the subject of funny make surgeries, after my dad had his prostate removed for cancer reasons he was fond of saying that he “didn’t know if he was coming or going. “
Lots of prune juice bud and the shit just falls out
Bought that ticket. You’ll come out like, no biggie… then the numbing agents wear off… You will need help getting out of bed / getting up, so just accept it and put the pride in the closet for a few. You use your core for everything, so turns etc. will be a challenge for a couple days. Then you’ll slowly get everything back. Though there are newer age procedures, I’d feel good about the mesh because it’s tried and true. Good luck brother and prayers out to you.
Sadly I live alone but giving it to God… protection and all that
…so there I was on a business trip about to eat my Cook Out somewhere in NC by myself. I noticed these two older black ladies (I only mention this because they were awesome and were completely filter free, just painting the picture), behind me in line. I said “would you two young ladies join me in breaking bread?” They laughed and said sure! The only thing I remember about our conversation is how they explained to me how to poop. (Yup it went all the way there). They explained how to “perch.” Sit with your feet tucked close to the base of the toilet, knees up, arch your back so “the shoot” is as straight as possible allowing gravity to work it’s magic. So of course I had to try it the next opportunity and I’ll be darned… the charming ladies were right! So now I pass on the knowledge! Sitting hunched over reading the phone kinks the shoot.
He is the Great Physician for certain! In that case, though it’s generally outpatient same day, you may want to ask the doc if they would admit you for a day or so. Worst case, get a cain or crutches and try to be very deliberate about movements for the first few days.
