Here's wishing a speedy recovery to you, Leonard!
I went through the hernia thing almost 2 years ago myself (from trying to lift my V-39 by myself (idiot))! Not fun, but I'm back to normal again and have been for a good while! Doesn't take long to heal, as long as you can avoid lifting kids, soda machines, and the like!
Keep Brian (Seven181) out of trouble out there...I'll miss him down here with me!
