Nothing big today... except maybe conversation with dr. paul... who told me not to worry about what is probably:
"Diastasis Recti (Abdominal Separation)
One of the most common conditions that can be confused with a hernia is an abdominal wall defect, such as diastasis recti. Diastasis recti is a separation of the rectus muscles without a defect (or hernia) in the abdominal wall. This commonly occurs with or after pregnancy, chronic straining, obesity, or older age. The separation can cause a bulging or protrusion which can resemble a hernia. However, diastasis recti is only visible when the patient is actively sitting up or straining. Diastasis recti does not require any surgical intervention. We usually recommend weight loss and abdominal core health exercise exercises and occasionally physical therapy.
Seeking Proper Diagnosis
While a hernia is a common condition, it’s important to remember that other conditions can present similar symptoms. From muscle strains to ovarian cysts, the causes of abdominal or groin bulges can be varied. If you notice any unexplained lumps, swelling or discomfort in your abdominal or groin area, it’s important to seek medical attention. Only a healthcare provider can diagnose the cause of your symptoms and recommend the appropriate treatment to ensure your health and well-being."
That is/was good to know and the scheduled ultrasound should confirm what it really is. Hopefully - Diastasis Recti.
And the rest of the day did include a decent workout... as well as conversation w/Steve and dinner and conversation w/Neal.
NOTE: apologies don't happen... people just do what they want to do... and rationalize what they need to rationalize. No getting through to most people.
On another point .. I need to go to a Braver Angels thing and see up close and personal what it is! Nothing clear otherwise.
Politics really in bad times .. Jimmy Kimmel offed. Steven Colbert was offed. The folks in DC are doing the worst they can do to all who do not agree with them. CRAZY!!!
At end of day got some PhishFood Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. Four pints. VERY good!!!
Still need to do paperworks AND get a massage person... And a car????
And a good night's sleep!!!!!! Aaaahhhhh SLEEP!
