Hernia
posted on 5/5/08 12:16 pm
A couple of months ago I had a hard knot in the middle of my stomache, right above my belly button, I thought it felt weird and asked my co-workers (L&D nurses) to feel it.  The couple that felt it thought it felt like I was getting muscle from the sit-ups I have been doing and we all had a good laugh about me not ever having muscle there before.  So I kind of forgot about it and then this week I have had a rotten cold and started coughing the last few days.  So yesterday I felt my stomache during coughing and felt this huge (bigger than a grapefruit) hard spot starting at my belly button and rounding up.  It bothered me, so I had the doctor look at it at the hospital where I work and he said that it was definately a large hernia and I would need surgery eventually and to call my surgeon in the morning.  So I called the doctors office today and they said I better come in right away if I went to the ER for it already, well I explained that the ER visit was just me having the doctor look at it because I was worried, not in pain.  So the nurse said that usually my doctor doesn't do anything about hernia's until 2 years out!!  I can't imagine having this for another year and 3 months, it will drive me crazy!  I have my oldest son graduating soon and am happy to put it off for awhile, but I don't think I can wait that long!  So . . . hopefully I can manage to hold out for awhile, but it's already driving me crazy!
