The hernia nightmare continues into 2021... It's good to talk!

Well, I am soon approaching the 4th year mark in my life of having hernia related issues to deal with, all of which have changed my life significantly. Three operations later I am still having issues, rather life debilitating issues. I am now struggling to even put my right leg to the ground from nerve related issues, I have issues of colour loss, blue and pins and needles often. I have a bladder issue I live with which is till problematic even having had surgery which is all related from the hernia surgeries which I am now told were fails. So what now in 2021… ? I await a renowned specialist appointment for postoperative hernia problems and chronic pain to see what they can offer me in my very isolating and difficult situation, one thing I know for sure is I am told I will be offered another operation to try to rectify the issues but to what plan of events, yet I await to hear or understand. The worrying thing I feel I have yet another hernia, all of this by the way is on my right side only. You think one would be enough but totalling three just seems unlucky even asking me. With this said I have faith that this year my health will improve, but it’s still pretty scary in the grand scheme of things, some days are good, some as you can imagine are very dark and difficult. But one thing that keeps me going is that there is always someone worse off and we must be grateful for what we do have, not wishing for what we haven’t got. Also, which is a stern wakeup call for me in my dark moments which I tell myself is truly no one is promised a tomorrow. So with that I try to make each day stand out with goodness, positivity and amazing time with family. I am truly thankful for my amazing parents, my incredible Nan and my wonderful family. Why not join me whilst I talk through worries, fears and difficulties. Don’t worry it’s my way of dealing with things… 

Thank you of watching and my very best wishes to you!
