The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsThanks for the hearts. I'm probably going to be in the hospital for awhile.
I have a medical appointment this afternoon since I suspect that I have a hernia. I've also lost a lot of weight so I expect to be admitted due to my overall physical condition.
I will have my cell phone with me, but I won't have my computer so I won't be posting much.

(39,086 posts)It hurt a little for a few days when I would stand up, sit down and the worst was coughing
or sneezing. Mine was an inguinal hernia, some others may be more difficult to get over I suppose. You will be OK just do what they tell you. Don't go out and dig ditches or do 100 sit ups.

(22,590 posts)The main difference was that there were several different locations in need of repair, so there were multiple (tiny) incisions. I was definitely uncomfortable for several days, but I wasn't laid up for very long.
It wasn't fun, but really not a big deal in the overall scheme of things.
doc03
(39,086 posts)incisions, can barly see them now. I was told not to lift over 10 pounds for a week and then 20 pounds the next 5 weeks. I followed the doctor's orders to the letter. Doing great now.

(844 posts)that you feel a lot better. If you've got a hernia you will feel much much better when it's taken out and after you recover. Take care!

Dont come back too quickly, which is kind of why I need to go back for the repeat. I didnt allow enough recovery time, and upset the process 🙁.
