Glad to read that your surgery went well. Hope and pray that you feel back to 100% sooner rather than later. Please keep us posted. When we were in Pigeon Forge, we saw your old Pastor. He wrote a book and was promoting it at the WPF Summit. Best wishes to you.

Roger, Did you have you lung hernia surgery oct 18 ? I go in to day for a Ct scan of mine today and then will probably have it repaired. How was the surgery? How do you feel? I would appreciate any feedback. There are not many of us out there? Thanks Greg

Roger Perkins Greg, yes sir, I had my lung hernia surgery Oct. 18th. Was under about an hour. They repaired the hernia w.out mesh. Looks gruesome, but, obviously not on the par w. OHS. I am in a good deal of pain, but, not unbearable. For me, they used a cryo-injection to deaden the nerves for approx. 2 months while the area heals. I think this is really helping w. the pain (until it wears off).
They wove my ribs closer since there was a bid gap & no muscle in the space where the protrusion was. As w. all surgeries, I think it's imperative to land on a very experienced surgeon.
All in all, the cosmetic side is not pretty & will probably take me about a month or two to heal, but, am able to walk & work lower body for now. Feel free to tag in any time!

Thanks for the response, I had my Ct scan and now go back on Thursday to talk with the surgeon at Duke. I just found out that my health insurance of 15 years will be cancelled at the end of the year. So I am in a mad dash to resolve this. I will write with more specific questions after my apt. when I understand what they want to do. Thanks Greg

Hi Roger, I was thinking about your surgery tomorrow if it's still planned and hope that things have turned around for you. I'm the person that has also had the lung hernia repair last Sept 28, 2016. All the best and I'll check in later on to see how you are doing. Regards, Lynne

Roger Perkins Met w. cardiologist today. My ejection fraction is at 55%. He said he's satisfied w. the results of my recent echocardiogram & that the valve is working properly (fingers crossed). I am considering *attempting* to go vegan to help reverse the calcification. Lung hernia surgery Oct. 18. Appreciate the prayer! God Bless.

Rose Madura Glad your heart is doing well! A good diet is always in order. I'm convinced that processed foods are responsible for most of the ailments in the U.S. At any rate, it's not easy to change one's diet. We wish you well. I'm sorry you need to have another surgery. But hopefully, you will start feeling much better once it is over. Please keep us posted. God Bless you.

My god Roger...It looks like you be better not doing anything originally. I am getting ready for a possible surgery. I know that I have a moderate to severe mitral leakage as well as a moderated tricuspid leak and a trace leak with the aorta. I have some calcification of the aorta.
Roger Perkins Been extremely rough - esp. on my wife. Will pray for you!
