My right side inguinal hernia, repaired 25 years ago, without mesh, seems to have recurred. I suspect it has been there for a bit but I was in denial. Got a doctor's appointment Thursday. Hopefully I can find a good surgeon who can operate promptly and who appreciates that I would like to return to activity ASAP.

BTW, I found this in a journal article. Seems to be encouraging:

Early mobilization

Early mobilization and return to normal, unrestricted physical activities and hard work in the immediate postoperative period do not cause recurrences. On the contrary, persons with sedentary occupations suffer double the number of recurrences as those performing heavy manual labor

Monday's deadlift session had to be postponed until today. Fortunately I was off work today and threw it in between my Dr. appt. this am and the veterinarian appointment (2nd opinion, no not really, it's for the cat; actually sometimes veterinarians make more sense than MDs) this afternoon. Plan to do deads again next Monday so I didn't do any SGDLs today.
