Isn't a hernia where you tear your nutsack?

I dig the personality of Slick.

I don't want to make this about me though when Ken Walker sacrificed his chestnuts in the name of football.

A hernia usually occurs in the weakened abdominal wall where the left and right testes come through ("drop") when you're a baby.

I had my left tear when I was 16, and my right tear when I was 17. Both were repaired at Bassett Army Hospital. IIRC, they pull the wall together and scrape it to turn it in to scar tissue. After the first one, I went home a laid around for a week, then took it really easy. After the 2nd one, my buddies picked me up the same day at the hospital and we went out and partied all (Friday) night.

The repairs have bothered me over the years, but they are tough as hell. 20 years of guiding, packing dead animals up and down mountainsides, and they're still intact.

These days they put mesh in, and I guess it's pretty bullet proof.

For those that don't know, Ivotuk is the #1 best poster in here. When he speaks, you would do well to listen. He's also an incredibly great human being. He's virtually walked with me through the toughest time in my life. Thank you Ivotuk. Sincerely. This guy deserves more accolades than many whom we attribute greatness.

I didn't say it was.

The recovery for a sports hernia is typically longer than what they've stated.

Orlando, FL to interior AK is a truly long-distance friendship. Very cool, and good on ya, Ivotuk.

Walker will get the best attention money can buy, and play when he's ready. I cannot wait to see him get more snaps as he gets healthy.

Yeah, and the Seahawks will not rush him back.
