Blowhole repaired

Hi everyone hope all is well sorry if l missed a few birthdays or bear pictures it's been real buisy for me with weddings and graduations ...seems like every weekend is something going on.
Last year my old body was installing new bilestein shocks in the rear of the tundra and l was getting frustrated getting em on the stud so I acted like I was 18 again and just compressed the stiff ba$tards by hand and proudly got them on the studs.
Next day was rewarded by a belly button lump.
With the pandemic going on l was putting it off but finally decided l should get it taken care of before monkey pox hits or some other new mail in disease.
All done in and out in 4 hours glad I'm fixed for now
Still working but lite duty. A little pain but nothing severe. It's probably going to effect my other job as a swimsuit model lololl.
Anyway stay safe and don't get a blowout doing something stupid.
After this month my brain starts thinking of hunting again.
After the blue tounge bout last year I'm actually surprised to still see a few decent bucks in the fields already that survived hoping it dosnt hit again this season.
Stay safe Joe z.

When you start modeling again I suggest not shaving in the dark :lol:

Take it easy for a bit and heal well . My hernia surgery years back was a 100% successful but it reminds me every now and then not to overdo it....
or else!
I'm always careful not to hurt myself again in the second half of my life after experiencing longer recovery times.

Good luck this fall and be careful recovering your deer....just ask me how I know that :roll:

Hey Joe...let that heal up nice and slow! Otherwise you'll be at it a second time!
Didn't take me long to figure out once I got "Over The Hill" that I wasn't as young as I use to be, and that it took a dang sight longer to heal than it use to! :eusa-doh: :lol:
Take care!!

My dad is 3 weeks post-op from his blow out repair. Just take it slow and you'll be all good by deer season.

A customer of mine had one right where you had yours. It stuck out over 3"! :wtf: They couldn't perform surgery until he lost some weight :shifty: but he eventually did have his hernia repaired. Apparently it is quite life threatening! Who knew! Glad you made out ok Joe! :thumbup:

Thanks guys I'm still laughing to myself about the anesthesia I remember waking up it was 11:50 on the clock then slept for what felt like 5 hours waking up at 11:55 I wish l could sleep that good at home lol.
It kind of reminds me of a second mouth on my belly that will hopefully give me only good advice and financial and moral support.

I used to work with a guy in the same situation but could not loose the weight for surgery.
Eventually his " Alien " became very very large, uncomfortable and noticeable.

Geeze man…warn a guy before posting pics like that! 🤣
That goes into the “things you can’t unsee” category…
I think you should post a pic of a pretty woman’s belly button now! 😂
When I saw your title I was thinking “where the hell is the blowhole on a crossbow?!” 🤣

Glad your OK! I put Monroe shocks on my 01 Tundra without jacking it up and just compressing the shock, it was very easy on a 01 Tundra,Firestone wanted $350 to do it, I did it for $85.
