I think I got mine from acute bouts of hayfever sneezing. I tried to get workers comp on the first op,, as I worked outside as a Meter reader at the time and that contributed in a big way to the hayfever. Sadly I didnt get the workers comp. Second time round not sure how it happened I just felt a strange lump... where a lump isnt supposed to be.... The experience of the first Hernia made me realise I had a bit of leeway to use the time off to my benefit... hence the World Cup Timing... I'm still chuffed I managed that.... I think I've related on here in the past about the last world Cup and a voluntary cosmetic Eye Op I had lined up, chickened out as I realised I would be conscious, which gave me the heebie geebies.

Nor did I, for obvious reasons

You might not be too bad - the recovery time (obviously) depends on the size and position of the hernia.
