#34 The Great Escape

The Great Belly Button Escape is on! After yet another visit to my doctor it seems further tests are needed! The escaping belly button, is getting worse. My specialist said it was a pre hernia and that I had to keep an eye on it & try to strengthen the muscle area. So back to the Rehab Physio I tootled........ they gave me some more exercises & changed some of the ones I was already doing (*cough* not doing as it hurt too much.)  I then spent the next several days doing the said exercises, until I could barely walk. Doing anything that everyone does in their day to day lives was proving very uncomfortable. So after discussing this with hubby, I decided to stop the exercises from the physio again and see if it improved.

Well it did, but I think the damage may have been done! Now not only did I have a bulge in my abdomen, but it had grown. So today I went back to my GP (who is so good & thorough) she is sending me off for another Ultra sound as she believes it is now a hernia! Tomorrow after work I am having the Ultra sound and hope to get some sort of result. Yikes! Hoping for something that can be resolved.

Wish me luck!
