From Hernias to Super Hero...

Did I tell you that my hernia is back? If you're pretty close to me (locally and personally) I'm sure I mentioned it to you in some way...

The belly button hernia (that's what I call it, because "umbilical hernia" sounds too sophisticated for my liking) is back and it's achier than ever. I saw the surgeon last week, and I'm waiting to hear when she can do surgery... again. Third time's a charm, right?

She plans to use gore-tex lined mesh. I'm very excited about this because gore-tex was used to repair my heart! My sister, Molly, is pretty sure that one day I will be some sort of super hero that is completely made of gore-tex... and I'm pretty sure she's right.

  2. Totally a hero, girl. From head to toe, inside and outside, from start to finish: Hero.

    You don't even need the Gore-tex to be one, either.
