SomeDanGuy Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 So, I have an inguinal hernia. "What is that?" you ask. Well, let's just say that some of my intestines decided to head southward and get a taste of life in Scrotoville. ....yeah. So, that's fun. It doesn't hurt of anything, but it's kind of weird. The fun part is that this was my first diagnosis. Anatomy class came in handy The un-fun part is that I get surgery on Tuesday. It's general anesthesia, so I don't know when I'll be up and about. If I post anything bizarre on Tues or Wed, blame the painkillers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soothsayer Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Ouch! My younger brother had that when he was less than a year old. Good luck guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeDanGuy Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Ouch! My younger brother had that when he was less than a year old. Good luck guy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, the intestines basically follow the same path the testicles took while 'descending'. (The inguinal canal) Things should go fine since I'm 'young and fit' but it's general anesthesia, so there's always some risk. I'm not too worried though. My poor brother had tickets to visit me for his spring break, and now he gets to take care of me post-op. Sucker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torn asunder Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 All I do is grunt and groan Hurts me to walk anywhere Went to see my physician, Dr. Jones He took my trousers off, told me to cough {Doctor says there ain't nothin' to discuss} He tells me any day I might have to wear a truss {Living with a hernia} All the time, such aggravation {Living with a hernia} Gonna be my ruination {Living with a hernia} Got to have an operation Feel so old Too much bad pain Good gawd, drives me insane Can't run, barely crawl Got a bulge in my intestinal wall Walk real funny, bless my soul Can't play tennis and it's hard to bowl {You can't even do the splits now...Better call it quits now} I'm sick of all this dancin' anyhow get better, man... =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marblez Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 I'd prefer to have a hernia there rather than the abdominal wall. By the way, I am living with one in mine. It reared it's ugly head while I was pregnant and could do nothing about it. It acts up every now and then but it is getting better. So where exactly will the incision be? Do they have to umm...remove anything to get to the right spot? Stitches or staples? They'll probably have to shave you ya know :clover: I'd wish you good luck, but you'll do fine.

SomeDanGuy Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Well it's over and I'm fine. I don't have much pain at all really, but if it picks up, they gave me a whole bottle of vicadin to take 'as needed'. Thanks for the words of encouragement ya'll. And EVEN BETTER: Comcast finally came and I have an internet connection back at home!!! soooo excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
