Recovering from bilateral open mesh hernia surgeries

I know it’s been awhile since I’ve had the opportunity to update my website here. I’ve done better on facebook; I guess because it’s just easier to sign in and post. Plus I know right away if my posts/images are appreciated or not there. I’ll try to do better here though.

So, this year, I went to Alaska again. I’ve learned that there IS gold up there, and quite a bit in some areas. But to be productive one really needs a crew and heavy machinery. I won’t be going back up this next summer. I need to get finances in order, prepare my campers better, and plan a better course of action.

I’ll explain this year’s Alaskan adventure later on. I do have a lot of great images from the trip, a little gold, and some Alaskan Stones that I brought back and polished up (tumbled). The images and the stones will be for sale.

Since being back, I had some hernia repairs. I went through hell with that, and am still recovering. I’m due to go back to work on December 10th. I wrote up an article on the surgery (preparation, post-op, and recovery) so that I might help someone else going through it.
You can read about it here.

That’s about the latest. I’ll get to the 2016 and 2017 Alaskan blogs as soon as I get a chance.
