We are now taking submissions on what to name my hernia! Remember, all entries must be in before July 9, for after then, I will no longer have said medical condition. Vote early and often!
These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA
While I do believe that Ralph would be a very appropriate name...And I am still laughing, I think "Damn thing" would be a great name...Because that is exactly what you will be calling it later...
"This damn thing is killing me" "This damn thing is going to be the death of me.." "I could help you move your furniture, but this damn thing will keep from doing it." "If it weren't for this damn thing I think I would still be awesome!"
There are none. I will, however, most likely pick the name with the most votes. Participants are urged to vote as often as humanly possible. Having to do work, chores, or undergo major surgery will not be considered valid reasons for not participating.
On June 10, I was officially diagnosed as having a hernia. Hooray! It's not cancer. But like any life-changing event, this hernia needs a name. So it's up to you, you who are reading this blog when you should be working, to christen this strange bulge in my area.
The winner will receive a completely useless prize, maybe a YouTube video produced in their honor.
Godspeed.
According to WebMD: "An inguinal hernia (say 'N-gwuh-nul HER-nee-uh') occurs when tissue pushes through a weak spot in your groin muscle. This causes a bulge in the groin or scrotum. The bulge may hurt or burn." In other words, my guts have creeped into my balls, uninvited. My hernia was diagnosed rather easily at a urologists office, referred to by my PCP, by having an attractive nurse practitioner cupping my boys and having me cough.
WebMD tells us surgery is the only way to cure it. A mesh, or in medical parlance "The air filter of your balls," is installed surgically (in my case, laposcopically) to keep my damn abdomin out of my marble sack. Recovery consists of pain killers and a lot of whining.

Just a thought.
