Hey folks,
Well, I'm going in for another surgery this May. They found 3 hernias. I'm the guru on hernias, having about 7 now. It gets pretty old after a while. I'm always thinking positive and listening to my body. My first stoma was on my right. I got a hernia, moved that to the left 7 years later, another hernia, plus 2 belly button hernias. I had my doctor laughing, telling her I'm running out of real estate for any more stomas. Anyway, have a great spring and a wonderful summer. Ed. Amen.
