Beavis & Butthead
A couple months ago I noticed a bit of a bulge slightly right and below the belt line during a routine pit stop. . .
I kept an eye on the matter as I was not experiencing pain and it did not seem to be persistent. However, after my recent MS150 cycling adventure I experienced a moderate amount of pain and inflammation ‘down there’ and decided it was time to see my family physician.
He confirmed what I already suspected; hernia. Right Inguinal Hernia to be precise (Butthead). On Thursday 10/8/2009 I saw a specialist within the hernia treatment space here in San Antonio. To my surprise Dr. Dilworth found an additional hernia. This new find is of the Umbilical nature (Beavis).
I’m having surgery to correct Beavis & Butthead on 10/21/2009.
Why the naming of my hernia’s and why Beavis and Butthead?
Stigma for one!
And two; Beavis = funny looking; my naval mirrors funny looking -- Butthead = pain in the ass; this hernia is proving to be a PAIN!
And finally, Dr Dilworth’s name reminded me of a famous line from Beavis and Butthead Series on MTV, ‘Shut up, Dillhole’.
On a serious note, I have great confidence in Dr. Dilworth as he works to get me back into full working order!
Rock on.
