Worse way to discover NSVs

So i got some new NSVs, but I have also discovered the worse way to discover them.

On wednesday night, I got the WORSE pain in my stomach, this pain was seriously the worse pain I have experienced in my life, so I called my mom and she rushed me to the hospital. Turns out I gots me a pretty severe internal hernia, and was operated on, on Thursday night by Doctor Raiche. Thankfully no bowel had to be removed, but she thinks that I have most likely had the hernia since almost the begining.

So my NSVs you ask...
#1 The "normal" size blood pressure cuff fits!!!!
#2 The gowns not only fit but also EASILY tied up!!!!!!

As a little side note, the pain for this surgery is much more severe then my bypass surgery was :(

Referal sent August 2009 - Referred to Ottawa - January 2010 - Surgery - July 29th 2011!!!!

Glad that you got that taken care of, and didnt ignore the pain.

Hugs for the surgery recovery.
