Author Topic: I'm Off To Hernia Surgery Today-Warning Graphic Photos Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-03-2005 02:07 PM                     I’m off to have hernia surgery done today. Lifting all these DP-70 over the years has finally caught up with me and both my boys feel like they’re hanging a lot lower than they should be, plus the bad abdominal bulge that is painful when I cough. I’m actually looking foreword to this as I have never had surgery before… should be quite interesting. Finally….I will be able to get back to hiking and photography once again and shed some pounds at the same time. I will post photos if I can get them taken and if Brad will allow.

The first time was very smooth, the second one I had a pretty bad reaction to "something" and spent the next morning puking my guts out. But I'm OK now! Even so, I have to admit I sort of enjoyed being able to just lie around for a while. So hopefully you'll enjoy that part of it too. Good luck Mark!  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 05-03-2005 03:36 PM                     GOOD LUCK MARK  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-03-2005 03:49 PM                        Good luck!

Think of it as a face "lift" ... only lower. Get some rest and get well soon!  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: California, U.S.A.

And then stop trying to convince the kind chairman of these forums, that the DP70 is not only the greatest, but also the greatest mobile cine projector ! p  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA... Nowhere in Particular. Registered: Aug 1999 posted 05-03-2005 07:50 PM                     Good luck, Mark! I had the same surgery waay back in 1965. Only problem was that they kept you in bed for a solid week until your boys were healed. I will never forget the pain the FIRST time I tried to get out of the bed. Now-days, its a simple surgery. You can lift my Holmes anytime. I won't lift my RCA CTC-10C on a good day.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-03-2005 07:57 PM                  How about a TK-42, Bruce?
