I am sitting here today with two new inserts in my insides. Lots of nice mesh to cover the hernias.
My primary care told me I had one, the surgeon at my first visit said there were two lingual one on each side.

The surgeon did a laproscopy fixed both sides at once. Rather sore today not moving real fast, but will be fine
in a day or two.

Onward and upward.

Jerry,

Happy healing buddy (heh). Hey, at least the surgical techniques and medical knowledge are quantum leaps better than they were even 20 years ago. You'll be as good as new in no time!

Jerry, you can't stop getting older and these things, unfortunately will become more frequent (more ouchies).
Since you are back at the keyboard, we'll assume you are willing and able to keep driving this train. Just a little FYI, I too will undergo some pain next week as the medical profession will try to remove 8 kidney stones from my left kidney. If the pain they said to expect materializes, I will have the pleasure of taking some of the best our pharmacies have to offer and then prepare to do it all over again for my right side. Now in my defense, I swear I drink enough malt beverages to avoid build up of deposits but I now realize I must redouble my efforts.

You take care buddy and don't overdue it. I know I won't.

MISSION

The American Cold War Veterans is a nonpartisan 501c nonprofit veterans service organization incorporated in the State of Florida and founded on August 18, 2007 at The Truman Library in Independence, MO. As a group we are dedicated to all of our Brother and Sister Veterans, with special dedication to those who served during the Cold War era September 1945 to December 1991. Our Mission is to bring respect, recognition and awareness to Veterans of the Cold War era no matter what branch of service, whether active duty, reserve or National Guard. We are committed to honoring the sacrifices made by millions of American men and women during the Cold War, especially those who paid the ultimate price of life or liberty. We intend to see that the Cold War's history is completely and accurately understood by people everywhere. We are united in these goals and speak with one voice.

SEC. 556. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ISSUANCE OF CERTAIN MEDALS.
It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense should consider authorizing—

  1. the issuance of a campaign medal, to be known as the Korea Defense Service Medal, to each person who while a member of the Armed Forces served in the Republic of Korea, or the waters adjacent thereto, during the period beginning on July 28, 1954, and ending on such date thereafter as the Secretary considers appropriate;

The Medal was not created! Why?

Were Cold War veterans casualties of the Iraq War planning?

We will continue to fight!
