I’m sure someone up there is saying “she’s not suffering enough” lolll , so my scan on Saturday comes back showing I have a hernia in my upper abdomen, there calling it an incisional hernia even though my surgery was almost a year ago! It’s pushing bowel up and it’s 6x6cm which is apparently significant??!! Being referred to two separate colorectal surgeons, one from my GP one via my cancer clinic, I’m gonna play a game of “which health board is better” lolll,in the mean time have to follow some rules and regulations, don’t lift heavy things, if pain vomiting go to hospital blah blah blah , loll x good grief ain’t I got enough to deal with! Anywho just sharing and ranting loll x ohhh and lastly any advice will be much appreciated x x
Hi Hnickkie I agree 100% and usually have good craic with the numerous staff that I meet or have met along the way and they have actually commented that I have the right attitude which is lovely to hear . Just because I am ill I dont want to be a miserable git and hope that it won't affect me further down the line other wise I might have to get back on the drink and drugs to cheer myself up lol . I remember seeing the dental specialist at guys as they removed my back teeth for treatment , but the consultant said he could do implants but there was a risk that if it didn't work they would have to take bone from my leg to reconstruct my jaw. I said to him I was quite happy and dont need that and will pass Thanks . We had a good laugh. I am going deaf also and was offered hearing aides but advised dont bother if it doesn't affect me . I dont think I am turning my new hi fi speakers up to loud yet lol. All the Best Minmax
