Getting Hernia Surgery Today
Posted on 6th August 2008 by BenToday I am getting surgery for a hernia. For those that do not know, a hernia is a tear/hole in the lining of your stomach that causes part of your intestine to poke out. You can actually feel the intestine protruding in the groin region. It is caused by heavy lifting and various strenuous movements. This little ailment has prevented me from working out for the past two months. It is such a small condition as well but it is so damn debilitating. I mean I can’t do anything, I can’t have sex, I can’t workout, sometimes, I can’t even flog the dolphin…now you can feel my pain. Oh yeah and if that’s not enough, I think the $1000 deductible will put you over the edge…..
I had the option of letting it heal itself, which is a bunch of hollistic bull shit, in my humble opinion. Some people say they have cured themselves by literally eating healthy and sitting on their fat asses all day, yeah no thanks. Sure it is possible if you have the dilligence and persistence but I am young and want to get this taken care of ASAP.
I hear alot of stories that once you get operated on for a hernia on the left you eventually get another one on the right, this is probably due to overcompensation. Personally, I am not thrilled to be going under the knife but I don’t really have a choice. The good part is I will be recieving 100 Percocet for this minor operation, I guess it must hurt? I guess I will see what becomes of me.
In the mean time I am going to revamp the blog and add a banner.
