Groin injury update

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.
