Hernia Operation

Curt saw Dr. Hudson at the Corvallis Clinic (after being referred from his new primary doctor at the Clinic, Dr. Lee) today about surgery for his stomach hernia caused by the removal of one of these muscles to be used for "filler" in his jaw during his major surgery a year ago last September. Right now the hernia surgery is scheduled for Monday, December 29. He could spend the night afterwards (it depends on how the surgery goes), and might only have to give up tennis for about 3 weeks afterwards. He almost weighs 160 lbs. now!
Earlier this week Curt called Dr. Wax's office at OHSU about his eye. It has been watering a lot and having some pain. He started to use a prescription eye drop from Dr. Gross that he got a while ago, and that has seemed to help. He will see Dr. Gross again on January 20.
