Have my hernia appointment!

[Mrs Ava]

Yippe.  Only to see the consultant, but not as long a wait as the doctor thought it would be.  May 3rd.  Then the next wait will be for the operation.  Hopefully winter time so life in the garden/allotment/work will be quiet.  Very much looking forward to having this seen to as it is much more achey these days.

Good luck with your doctor's visit EJ when it comes!  It will be good to have an idea when the op is then you can start to plan around it. Hope it all goes well for you. love busy_lizzie

Delighted for you, EJ. I've played that waiting game myself and it's no fun.

May our thoughts go with you.

Good luck EJ. Hope you get it done soon. OH had one and he was much better after the operation.

[Wicker]

EJ, is a hernia not unusual in someone of your age (young I mean!) - in my ignorance I always associated it with middle-aged+ men?  Anyway glad your appointment has come thru - now just got to hope it doesn't get canceled  :-*

[sazhig]

FIL had his done a couple of weeks ago & is itching to get on with all the digging...but we are keeping a tight rein on him so he makes a full recovery ;D...hope all goes well with you EJ.

Don't know Wicker.  The GP wasn't all that suprised....childbirth....digging etc being the blame. 

And I am mid 30's now.....my nan gets great pleasure telling me I am nearly 40!  :P

[dandelion]

How old is your nan EJ ;D?

[Amazin]

40 is the new 20, EJ - you'll love it!

;D

[Mrs Ava]

Yes, I keep telling her she is nearly 90 dandelion....well, she nearly is!  ;D

Apparently, gall stones only happens to older people too. Was the not so proud owner of these at age 21!

Had a hell of a time trying to make doctors take me seriously, now am finally on the waiting list to have them out at age 27!

So know how you feel, and good luck! ;D

[manicscousers]

you having keyhole, e.j ?

[sarah]

hernias are not just for older people (or, indeed spring chickens like EJ) they are very common in baby boys. my little one had to have one sorted out when he was abut three.  good luck EJ i am sure you will be fighting fit in no time.

My John had one year before last, I dropped him at the hospital on my way to work and picked him up on the way home, he was eating his dinner at 7pm.we've come a long way since you took to your bed for a full week after childbirth.

Good Luck ,no that's not right,.... heal quickly XX Jeannine

[sutton girl]

Good luck ej  :)

[Mrs Ava]

I don't know what the procedure will be until I see the consultant in May manic.  I am hoping small, altho a tummy tuck whilst I am under would be a bonus!  ;D :o ;)
