G'day,
As requested by Gene Fisher here's a quick rundown on what happened at Bean Station.
I have had an inguinal hernia for years; a surgeon in Sydney told me there was no reason to undergo surgery unless it "played up."
At Bean Station a small section of small intestine popped out and got strangulated requiring the hospital visit. They diagnosed the
problem quickly and when the ER doctor came in and poked around I felt something "pop" down in my groin.
When the surgeon arrived he noted that he couldn't feel the hernia and when I told him what I felt when the ER doctor had "poked
around" he told me the hernia probably popped back in which negated the necessity for emergency surgery. He showed me how to pop it
back in myself and said I could go home. I elected to spend the night which turned out to be a good idea as I had a couple of
"technicolor yawns" which would have ruined John Sharpe's sleep. He also noted that if it didn't "play up" while I was in Houston I
could postpone repair until I get back to Sydney.
I'm now back in Houston taking it easy to allow my guts to return to normal and determining if I'll have to get it fixed here or can
wait until I get home.
I'm feeling better daily.
Regards,
Rob M.
