Well, I finally got my hospital appointment about my hernia today.
Very nice doctor. Shook my hand when he came in and explained everything.
After he'd examined me he said the defect in my muscle wall was quite large
(as big as an orange) and that an incisional hernia was quite a different
thing to repair than the normal sort of groin hernia.
It won't be as bad as my ovarian surgery, but apparently it will be quite
bad.

I will be in hospital for 4-5 days and will be unable to do much for 6
weeks. It's worse that I expected. He gave me a choice to live with it, or
get the surgery. I've opted for the surgery.
I can hardly buckle up my shoes and I am fed up with the noises it makes.
The doctor seemed to think this was okay and funny. It isn't. It makes my
colleagues feel sick to hear it squelching and it makes *me* feel sick to
know that they hate it when I can't do anything about it.

Many purrs for an easy op and a quick recovery... let us know when
it's scheduled so we can start the purr-motors running fullblast.
