I'm pretty sure I got my hernia by over doing it when picking up my gilfriend. Litterally picking her off the floor and swinging her around. I used to do it all the time, and after a bit I found a little lump in my groin area. It felt exactly like a bit of my bowel had pushed out through the inguinal canal. (you know, the tunnel your balls drop from.) 3 weeks after discovering this little bubble I went to the clinic at the old Hotel Dieu hospital to get a doctor to look at it and get it fixed. I got an appointment with the surgeon for 3 weeks after that, then the surgeon set me up with a date for surgery another 3 weeks later and on the past Monday (yesterday) I got it fixed. Now I've got a bit of pain and some swelling in my "Nether regions" especially on the right side, the same side as my hernia. I'm told this is normal and may take up to 3 weeks to go away. I'm not happy about the swelling, but boy am I glad I got this fixed. in a month I can start back helping in the kitchen and chase kids at church on Wednesday nights and finally be able to live my life.
Stay frosty (I know I'll be good friends with my ice pack)
