Here at Blogspot (Blogger.com) counters have always been crazy things here

For example, I think the counters when I first started at blogger.com with my blog here in 2007 the counters (of visits to this site) only went to 2 million 500,000 I think. So, this happened several times (maybe up to 10 times and then it would reset to zero again each time since 2007. So, at some point it kept going and now the counter is at 54,942,451 or 54 million 942 thousand 451 which is interesting to me too.

But, even more interesting is that as of January when I almost died it was around 20 million visits whereas now it is at   54,942,451 visits which means that well over 34 million visits to this site since I almost died in the emergency room on January 4th and then I was able to survive the year by having a robotic Hernia surgery by the best Robotic Hernia Surgeon in Redding California. If you wonder why he is in Redding, California it's because he grew up there and his family lives there. So, it's because it is his life long home. He had already done over 6000 robotic hernia surgeries with no problems not one with Screening because of his advanced techniques. In my own case there are no scars at all left from this surgery and I had no pain at all after 1 week after the surgery. I think the hardest thing I had to deal with in March and April is that I couldn't sit up at all to get out of bed without help from my wife during recovery. So, no pain after 1 week!

Amazing!

So, the biggest thing to get used to was the anesthetic they used to knock you out which made me sort of hallucinate to some degree a little for a week. So, pain wasn't the worst thing I dealt with it was the anethesia but all that passed and now I have my life back again. However, I'm still having to go to physical Therapy so my body can get used to being normal again. I likely could even pick up my KLR 650 Motorcycle that I gave to a friend a year ago who builds 1930s Indian Motorcycles from parts he buys all over the world. He got it running again because I was having a problem with the clutch the last few years and I couldn't pick it up anymore because of my hernia before it was repaired. If you can't pick up a dualsport bike built for round the world travel sort of like a 2 wheeled jeep then it makes no sense to ride one. However, all that has changed now.

By God's Grace
