Good News

As most of you know for some time now, I have had a hernia. 3.5 years to be exact. I first noticed it after Tim’s 30th Birthday Party. I always blame it on prepping for this party and all the stuff I had to do and carry, but I truly don’t know when it happened. When I realized that I had a bulge I went to my doctor and she agreed that I had a very small hernia and that it wouldn’t keep me from doing anything but that before I had children to get it repaired. My thinking at this time was well shoot I’m not even married that is way in the future I am not going to have surgery now, so I didn’t. Well the time had come, Tim and I have been married over 2 years now and children have entered our minds so after the New Year I made myself make the appointment to schedule my hernia surgery. If you read my first blog you’ll know that procrastination was on the list, well I didn’t procrastinate I called.

So onto the good news. That was a little background information. Tim met me at the doctor yesterday because I was nervous and wanted him there. The doctor came in and I had to drop my pants in front of him, Tim and his PA who was a woman, all strangers except for Tim. The doctor was very funny though so it wasn’t bad. Well he asked me to strain and I was like do what, he said “act like your going to the bathroom”. Well if it wasn’t humiliating enough to be standing in the room with my pants around my ankles I had to strain 6 times like I was going #2, good times. Well after he had poked around for awhile, he tells us that he cannot find a HERNIA! I was like are you serious???? He said if I can’t find a hernia, I’m not going to perform surgery on someone who doesn’t need it, so I said well of course not. He told me that I could possibly still have one but it’s not noticeably and that it shouldn’t be a problem for Tim and I down the road to have children. Needless to say I skipped out of that doctor’s office; I paid my $35 co-pay and was outta there with the biggest grin on my face.
