Well, I heard from the social security office today. Their decision was unfavorable. They basicly called me a liar. They said I wasn't credible.
Also on another note. I may not be on much because I don't have internet at my house. My sister and her husband bought me a new computer for Christmas so I wouldn't have to rent one anymore and I am having problems getting it set up. I will o...1 Recommendation5 Comments -

Well, tomorrow is my social security hearing and I am very, very nervous. I had hearing prep with my lawyer the other day and I am unsure about some of the things she has asked me to say. She hasn't asked me to lie persay, but to stretch the truth a little. She says that you have to say things a certain way becuase otherwise the judge will think differently. i have testified in court before. ...1 Recommendation4 Comments -

Well, my oldest daughter brought the mail in this afternoon and the usual was in it, Bills and junk mail. Then all of the sudden I came across a letter that said Union County Probation Department. The first thought that entered my mind was that they were going to let the man who had hit me out of prison. He has been in there a little over a year now. I opened the letter and it was a check.

Well my husband came home from work today and said he had a late birthday surprise for me. We waited till the kids came home from work and he gave me my gift. It was an electric blanket. I know it doesn't sound romantic or anything, but it was exactly what I wanted. He said he knew he was going to buy it, but needed to wait until it went on sale. They are pretty expensive. We cuddled up ...1 Recommendation5 Comments -

Well, today is my 36th birthday. I am feeling a little sorry for myself today. So please excuse me while I whine a little. I am stuck at home with my 2 girls and my husband and son are out hunting for the day. Today here in Pa. is the first day of deer hunting. I hate this time of year. I feel jealous that it is so important to them and here I sit at home. The thing is we have no money so it...1 Recommendation4 Comments -

I wanted to let all of my friends know i will be gone for a little while. My husband can not afford to pay for my computer anymore. Since my other one broke he has been renting this laptop for me and we can not afford to pay for it any longer. He will be returning it tomorrow. So today will be my last day online until we get another one. He has thought about seeing if he can get me a cheaper one....1 Recommendation5 Comments -

Well,, i went to a very nice wedding yesterday. Funny thing is that it was a cousin of my husband's that we did not know existed until maybe 6 years ago.

Inguinal Hernia Information
Inguinal hernias are protrusions of abdominal cavity contents through an area of the abdominal wall commonly referred to as the groin, and known in anatomic language as the inguinal area or the myopectineal orifice. They are very common and their repair is one of the most frequently performed surgical operations. There are two types of inguinal hernia, direct and indirect. (Femoral hernias occur within the same "myopectineal orifice," but are usually classed as separate from the "inguinal" hernias.)
Inguinal hernias usually arise as a consequence of the descent of the testis from the abdomen into the scrotum during early fetal life. They are more commonly seen in men due to larger size of their inguinal canal, which transmitted the testicle and accommodates the structures of the spermatic cord. Men are 25 times more likely to have a groin hernia than women, but since this is such a common problem in the general population (it is estimated that 5% of the population will develop an abdominal wall hernia), inguinal hernia is not extremely uncommon in women. Direct hernias however are very uncommon in women.
Surgical correction of inguinal hernias, called a herniorraphy or hernioplasty, is now often performed as an ambulatory, or "day surgery," procedure.
