Was examined by the surgeon today to evaluate my possible hernias.
He had bad news and good news.
He said that for they type of hernias the radiologist thought I had that they would not do surgery on someone of my size due to the fact that the repairs 'Invariably' fail.
That was the bad news.
The good news -
The surgeon is convinced that I in fact do NOT have hernias.
He thinks what they saw on the ultrasound (which is NOT the best way to find a hernia) was just deposits in the fibers of the abdomen.
The surgeon believes that what I had was a bad groin strain.
He said to stay on limitations till the end of June to let it heal fully and I should be fine.
So it looks like I may get to enjoy most of my summer after all.
I feel better just from hearing that.
