Let's start with the bad news first. I discovered a lump by my navel yesterday and to make a long story short, it is a hernia. I have just fat (yum) poking out through the weakened abdominal muscles (intestines would be an emergency) and I may or may not need to get it repaired. It is depressing to be so defective. How many operations and problems can one pseudo healthy person have? Put me down for quadruple wisdom tooth removal, double knee arthroscopic surgery and two microdiscs. What the duck?
Okay, the good news is that J can read!! Not like fluidly or anything but the process has taken off. Very happy for him. Also, V peed in the potty last night and tonight. He proudly called abuela and said "I peed in the potty. I talk to grandpa." Once he was on the phone, V upped it to "I pooped on the potty." He is ambitious. If this streak continues, he will get to choose big boy underpants- an item I will actually splurge on for this midget.
Off to feel bad about myself and my dilapidated body (CAT scan revealed all sorts of signs of my broken self) and to eat something.
Oh boquita, sorry to hear that. Your body is not defective, actually is just the opposite but you need to treat it better. I know is easier said than done. If it is of any help I have one in the exact same place that pops out specially when I float on my back. It has been there forever and it does not bother nor hurt. Does yours ? I'm sorry and concerned. Get well right now or else !!
ReplyDeletei agree with rolando that you are not defective. your body held TWO humans inside of it! and that was AFTER all those other surgeries you mentioned. your body is a wonder of nature! BUT, you do need to take the extra time to take care of it, not do things like pick up midgets, maybe adjust your pace etc
ReplyDeleteon the other hand - YAY for V!!!! what a champ!!!
