Ill, sorta
After watching a jazz concert last night, I got up to leave and found a really painful bump just above my bellybutton. Slightly concerned, I decided to see how it was in the morning.
Well, it was still kinda there this morning, so I went into the local doctors surgery to get it looked at, and aparantly I have a Periumbilical Hernia. w00t.
It's basically a hole inside my bellybutton that allows stuff like my intestines through. So that bump was most likely a bit of intestine trying to break free. Fantastic.
Aparantly, it shouldn't cause me too many problems... if anything tries to make a run for it, I've been told just to push it back inside. Forgive me if this makes me cringe slightly. My other option is surgery, but seeing as how the American medical system involves paying horrendous ammounts of money to get anything done, I may just wait til I get back to the UK for that.
So, fun fun fun. :D
