Herniated Disc

Can you believe it? I hurt my back at Kylee's birthday. I was trying to lift this little boy so he could see the Mockingbirds that had nested in Tyra's tree. Well he ended up not being very little. Leave it to me to do this. I give up. The one bright spot is that he suggested something I have wanted to do for awhile. We were talking about my incisional hernias. He said there was no bulging of the intestines which is a good thing. He thinks that the cumulative scar tissue from three c-sections is what is causing the discomfort and pulling that I feel. He suggested that abdominoplasty would help. Yep that is right. He suggested a tummy tuck. He thinks the surgeon could remove some of the old scar tissue, close up the hernias and get rid of the extra skin right there above my scars. Yeah.... I really want to do this and Dr Jutras gave me the name of the surgeon that he knows. He said getting that excess skin off will also help with the skin irritation I feel under the "pooch". I guess we will see what happens.

Have a great week,
