Oh dear. You have a hernia? Where? I'm supposing you're on the waiting list for the operation, am I right. With our National Health we have some waiting, too, but they really move things along if you have anything threatening at all and with a hernia I'd be afraid of strangulation. :( I hope it eases up for you and they move you to the top of the list!
The hernia is at the base of my abdomen on the left, and is obviously pressing on a vein as my left foot and ankle are badly swollen. Both feet and ankles have been swollen to some extent because of sleeping in an upright position, but the left foot had started to swell before I changed my sleeping habits. I suspect it may be the same hernia that was repaired 2 years ago, which means that they will need to use some mesh to hold it together. At present it is preventing me from bending too low or reaching too high, or carrying anything remotely heavy.
Until I have seen my GP I don't have a referral to the hospital, but I will go in there tomorrow to make an appointment as soon as possible.
Thanks for your good wishes. I also hope I get near the top of the list.
