I'm a bit worried, too (OT)
Tweed,
I hope it's not as bad as you think! I agree about the dangers of self-diagnosis and the bad thoughts it can engender. But here's hoping they can "zip you back up" quickly and easily. Melissa |

When you described it, the first thing I thought was hernia, too. Is
it always hard to fix, though? I've known many people who have them, and it didn't seem like that difficult a problem. But I can understand you not wanting to have any more time being out of work, getting yet more medical treatment, so I hope it's nothing that requires all that! Many purrs for you from my 3, especially from Licky! Joyce |

After some internet research, it sounds like an "incisional hernia" which it seems isn't *that* easy to repair. Oh, joy! The last thing I need is any more time off work sick. I have used all my sick leave almost up to the next millenium, what with 4 years of continual eye surgery and then this ovarian cancer last May. I don't get paid now if I am sick. I know I will have to go to the doctor to confirm my fears, although I don't think there's much doubt, but I haven't done yet. I'm putting it off. I need a little rant: what on earth did I ever do to deserve all these bad things happening to me? My mother being found dead was the worst, I can cope with all the other health stuff with help and encouragement from my friends. I need big hugs, I am so fed up with not being able to get out the cycle of some sort of illness for long. Tweed Oh no!!

Tweed Going back to the "old days" again ---when babies had umbilical hernias, they used to tape a button over it. I've never had personal experience, but it might be worth trying until you see your physician. Best of luck. |

I know but I am pretty certain I am right. please don't put off your Dr. visit; not to down-play your worries but this is nothing compared to what you went through last time, eh? I know it won't be as bad as that but I'm really sick of it all. I can't see an end to it. No sooner do I recover from one thing than another comes along. I can't take much more of it. Tweed |

I look a little strange in a knit top because the lump/bulge it forms is off center. But my doctor is unconcerned and uninterested in me having it repaired. So I just try to ignore it. Jo |
