There she was…the angel…
Long, black, flowing hair tied in a bun. A beautifully smart nurse’s uniform. Sweet, young oriental looks.
She was gorgeous. And she was coming towards me…
I had just finished my inguinal hernia surgery and was now recuperating in the ward.
But never did I expect to meet her!
She walked to my side. In the most [...]
Hernia surgery is expensive – whether we like it or not.
In an environment of rising costs, having some insurance coverage is important to managing the costs of hernia treatment.
We need a good doctor to get well and must pay for it.
So do plan early and buy in to an extensive insurance policy which covers day [...]
Heartwrenching.
I wake up in pain.
Every movement hurts.
I can’t even walk without excruciating pain.
But the smile on my face cannot be wiped off.
My wife and parents at my side – their sacrifices make my day.
Their tears bring color to my face.
The days of hernia were my worst and best!
You cannot fear it or it will kill you…
Hernia surgery is a must if you discover a hernia. Don’t delay, don’t procrastinate! Hernias, especially those that cause pain or limit activity should be repaired as soon as possible. If not, it could develop into a serious situation where emergency surgical procedure may be required.

Genetics can play a big part in hernia development. This is beyond anyone’s control. We certainly cannot choose our parents or dictate our genetic make-up.
In other cases, hernia develops along the way. In this sense, we could do some things to lessen the risk of hernia problems. One way is to watch our weight. Obese [...]
Yes, I went for my cosmetic surgery early last month to hide my scars and it went well. I have almost recovered and I’ve also found something precious in the process…my true love!
Jennifer is a nurse with the cosmetic clinic that I have been going to. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever [...]
It is a new year…2011.
But the old scars are still the same.
Cosmetic surgery? Possibly…I’ve been saving up and have identified some good doctors for the treatment.
But more importantly, my resolution for this year is to believe in myself, my self-worth and know that I can make a success out of whatever I do.
Let the battle [...]
Like yesterday…just like yesterday.
Indeed, when my uncle went for his hernia surgery 20 years ago, the fear he had was similar to mine when I went for my hernia surgery last year. And like 20 years ago, it was the support from friends and loved ones which proved the best medication.
Don’t underestimate the importance of [...]
I hated myself!
The scar from the hernia surgery no longer hurt anymore. But it left an indelible mark on me. The pain was excruciating…
No, not from the scar, but from my hurting pride. Having previously been a head-turner with my well-toned and muscular body, I was now less than perfect. Yes, heads still turned, but [...]
“Can I take your hernia?”
Simple words which cut through my heart.
The words were from my three year old niece. I was obviously in some discomfort and the little lass wanted to share my pain.
At that moment, I felt no pain in my hernia. But tears rolled down my cheeks.
A grown man crying. But I was [...]
