I finally was able to meet with the surgeon yesterday. (If you haven’t been following, here’s Part 1 and Part 2)
The fluid filled “pocket” that I have is a hernia. This will require me to have surgery. From now on, I’m not allowed to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk until I have the surgery. I will also be out of commission for about a week after the surgery. My surgery is scheduled for Nov 4th. (I would have done it next week but I would have missed taking my kids trick or treating.)
I was also referred to an endocrinologist to treat the Hashimotos. I’ll be heading out for a thyroid ultrasound tomorrow.
My doctor has also restarted me on the iron.
We are slowly but surely getting down to figure this all out. She also thinks I have the beginnings of arthritis.
I hope you get better soon!
I hope your surgery goes well and that you are fully recovered and back to full duty and happiness with your family soon.
Hugs!!! Praying your surgery goes well 🙂
I am so sorry to hear about all the issues you are having.. I hope that things start to get better for you. Know that you know what is going on…
I am surprised that getting the hernia fixed only puts you out of commission afterwards for about a week. That is a lot better than I expected to read. Hope you feel better soon.
Glad they figure out about the hernia so they would correct it. My mother just was told that she can’t lift anything to heavy b/c of her hernia. No fun!
Oh no. Thyroid issues are no fun…it seems that the thyroid affects just about everything. I was diagnosed with a problem years ago, and they always mention Hashimotos. Sending love and best wishes your way!
🙁 I hope things in 2014 are much easier and healthier for you.
Boo to the hernia but glad they are figuring it out!
So glad that you are getting some answers……will be praying for you!!
Oh no! My thoughts are definitely with you. Hope for a fast recovery.
*hugs Mama*
Oh, bless your heart! You take care of you!
UGH my husband had a double hernia, not a good time. Hope you’re feeling better soon.
that is NO GOOD!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers for a safe surgery and easy recovery! Please keep us posted!
Hoping all goes well and sending (((Hugs)))
I’m glad that it’s something so easily explained even though you have to go through surgery. Don’t overdo things, missy!
Wow, that’s a lot going on. remember to ask for help when you need it. Don’t turn down help for meals, cleaning etc. Take care of yourself.
So sorry. Hope you are not in too much pain and heal quickley
awe praying for you
Healing prayers!
I have a good sized hernia behind my belly button. I am so glad you are getting treated though!
Praying for you, my husband had to have hernia surgery which was out patient surgery and recovered very quickly.
Wish I could reach out and give you a hug during this time. I will be thinking of you. Let us know how things are after your surgery when you are feeling up to it.
