Going to be gone a little while
Sunday, October 18, 2009 |
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....

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. I worked for a homehealth agency that went into people homes and cared for them and this girl relieved me and she was new. Well, back in those days I talked as fast and as much as a ducks behind wiggles. (an old saying of my pap's) I of ...1 Recommendation1 Comment -

Well, tomorrow is the date of my SSDI hearing. I will have to travel about an hour and a half to get to the hearing. We have no idea where we are going. It is in a town we have never been to before. I am very nervous about this hearing. I have been thinking about this daily and wish I would have been able to get a lawyer.

He said I have enough ones on me to get lunch and I called our bank and there was a little money there too. Luckily he gets paid tomorrow. Anyway, had a good time today.

My first pain script since the accident. I have tried to stay away from the pain meds as much as possible due to my sister's pain med addiction.

Not much to say today. Had a rough night last night. My leg was bothering me. It was one of those nights when just the feel of the blanket touching my leg was painful. I stayed up watching TV until almost 5 and fell asleep after Bill went to work. I didn't stay asleep for long. Took a short nap later in the afternoon.

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.
