Felt a pull/pinch sensation in the left groin today while hanging a boarding ladder on an airplane. Shortly afterward, it started to hurt. Did the chain of command notifications. Went to see the Flight Surgeon as per SOP. Got a hernia check. It was there! OUCH!
Left Direct Inguinal Hernia! Oh Boy! Fun! Yeah. Right. Got to see my primary provider tomorrow. One outcome for this, surgery. One of my favourite things, ya know!
25 pound lifting restriction. Gonna be doing a lot of forms and document reviews for a while.

That just sucks!!! Get better soon!
Well, now. That sure sucks. But, Hey! Look at the bright side: ya get to stay in the air-conditioned environment for a while!
LIGHT duty. Haven't experienced that in awhile, don't know how it would go if it became necessary. Kait's father-in-law had hernia surgery a few weeks ago & he didn't like the down time any better than I would, I think. Maybe that's when he found the original Scooby & Tom&Jerry cartoons On Demand he shared with Kaylee!
Take care, do what they say, don't be a pest to Sharon.
Believe it or not, I can still launch and recover. Just can't pick up a boarding ladder or squat under the airplane!
But I will become a forms specialist by the time this blows over. Document review tomorrow!
