Dear Mr. Jind Exactly what is a HERNIA? A hernia takes place when the inside layers of the abdominal muscle have weakened, producing a bulge or tear. In the same way that an inner tube pushes through a damaged tire, the inner lining from the abdomen pushes with the weakened area of the abdominal wall to create a small balloon-like sac. This could allow a loop of intestine or abdominal tissue to push into the sac. The hernia can cause severe pain along with other costly issues that could require emergency surgery. Both men and women can get a hernia. You might be born having a hernia (congenital) or develop one over time. A hernia doesn't get better with time, nor will it go away by itself. The common areas where hernias occur are in the groin (inguinal), belly button (umbilical), and also the site of the previous operation (incisional). It is generally easy to recognize a hernia. You may notice a bulge under the skin. You may feel pain whenever you lift heavy objects, cough, strain during urination or bowel movements, or during prolonged sitting or standing. The pain might be sharp and immediate or a dull ache that worsens toward no more the day. Severe, continuous pain, redness, and tenderness are signs the hernia might be entrapped or strangulated. These symptoms are cause for concern and immediate contact of your physician or surgeon. The wall of the abdomen has natural areas of potential weakness. Hernias can develop at these or any other areas due to heavy stress on the abdominal wall, aging, injury, an old incision or a weakness present from birth. You can now develop a hernia at all ages. Most hernias in youngsters are congenital. In grown-ups, an all natural weakness or strain from heavy-lifting, persistent coughing, difficulty with bowel movements or urination can cause the abdominal wall to weaken or separate. Laparoscopic Hernia Repair is really a method to fix tears in the abdominal wall (muscle) using small incisions, telescopes and a patch (mesh). If may provide a quicker return to work and normal activities with a decreased pain for many patients. Only after a thorough examination can your surgeon see whether laparoscopic hernia repair is right for you. The procedure might not be best for some patients who have had previous abdominal surgery or underlying medical conditions. Most hernia operations are carried out on an outpatient basis, and then the you will likely go back home on the day that that the operation is conducted. Preoperative preparation includes blood work, medical evaluation, chest x-ray as well as an EKG depending on how old you are and medical condition. After your surgeon reviews along with you the potential risks and benefits of the operation, you will have to provide written consent for surgery. It is recommended that you shower the night before or morning of the operation. If you've difficulties moving your bowels, an enema or similar preparation can be utilized after talking to your surgeon. After midnight the night before the operation, you should not eat or drink anything except medications that the surgeon has told you are permissible to take with a sip of water the morning of surgery. Drugs for example aspirin, blood thinners, anti-inflammatory medications (arthritis medications) and E vitamin will have to be stopped temporarily for several days to some week prior to surgery. |

This is an amazing rerocd of your experiences and undoubtedly really therapeutic too. Geoff wrote on article on his head injury for a mountain biking magazine (following his less than successful head first dismount) and I think writing about it massively helped him. He also had the same occ therapy tests and was also as amusing and intelligent as you (!) to the name as many animals as you can in 60 seconds' he paused and then blurted out only 3 answers in the whe minute polecat, prairie dog, dingo'. Unfortunately he was taking the test seriously and that pretty much booked him in to neuro recovery for 3 weeks! It's a he'll of a journey any head injury and as you say every journey is very personal to you and your family, but you'll get through it and probably know more about yourself, and your head, than you did before. Keep the updates going. I want to read how you are doing and bloo*y well done you for how you are facing it all. Katie x |
